Hide "Actions" Button from kb_article view

[Klug]

How can I hide the button in the photo below for groups that are not responsible for the KB?

I used this 

<j:if test="${gs.hasRole('itil')}">

<j:if test="${showUpdateAction}">

  <button id="editArticle" title="${gs.getMessage('Edit content')}" class="btn btn-default navbar-btn snc-article-header-toolbar-button">${gs.getMessage("Edit")}</button>

  </j:if>

</j:if>.

But didn't work.

Hi @Klug,

I believe you don't have to update the script.
Make sure the groups who shouldn't be able to edit the articles don't have the rights to update them.

So in other words, update your ACLS to meet your requirements.

Hi, @Peter Bodelier. Thank you for your response. I will check the ACLs. I would like to know if these ACLs are in the kb_knowledge table or elsewhere?

Hi @Klug,

Yes they should be for kb_knowledge.

Hi @Klug 

The visibility of the Edit Article action is controlled by the function canContributeToKnowledgeBase in the script include KBViewModelSNC.

Basically the action Edit Article will be visible for those who are contributors.

You can also look into this function to customize the visibility of the Action [actionMenuLabel] button

Let me know if it works for you.

Cheers,

Tai Vu
