I believe customizations - currently - can only be restricted / controlled by TeamSite role.

Userid and groupid restrictions have been asked for a bunch - I'd suggest you contact Support to find out / have your organization's name added to such feature requests.

Becareful how much you use roles to customize stuff.

Roles in a release coming soon (6.7?) are very different. I know we've heard this before, but this time...

Well, in theory, since the entire how do I jsp code is exposed to you, you could code in logic to check whether or not to display items using the content services SDK. The mainteance of the users would be something you would have to do, say in an XML configuration file or resource bundle file that you load with the JSP, but it is doable. You owuld just have to make sure you test the code with service packs and teamsite version numbers, but I think you should be ok.

If you want more information on how to do this, let me know.

Haven't quite figured that one out yet, but we're trying. I've added the attached code to the top of s_how_portlet.jsp, which figures out who the user is.

From there, I'm not sure how to bring in the variable called "user". Thoughts...
1. build user arrays with text + links, then loop through the appropriate array
2. have an external html file for each user that is piped in

...Not sure how to do #1 in jsp.
Not sure how to do #2. I have tried jsp:include and include file, but haven't been able to successfully put a variable in the path.

Any suggestions? I think #1 would be preferable. TIA.

Need to know a little more about what you are trying and how you are going to structure these answers.

Do you have a core set of questions that can conditionally be seen? How is this list managed? Or, do you want to have a specific list of questions for each user? How many users/questions are we talking about? Just want to see how much content we are talking about.
