Could not Restrict Custom Menu Item based on Role

LucyLee

Hi ,

 

After adding entries for a custom menu option in Teamsite, it appears fine in the UI and is also listed in the custom operations while editing roles in Admin tab.

But the custom menu is not restricted based on roles and appears for all users even for users

 

Please help regarding the same , Teamsite Version : 7.4.1

 

Added the below link in ui_custom.xml

 

   <link id="custom.ApprovalAdminConsole" permissionCheckList= "[{ beanId: 'iw.cc.permission.operationCheck', operation: 'cu.view.properties'}]" label="custom Console" description="custom Console"  target="_blank" url="/iw-cc/training/CustomAdmin.jsp" windowFeatures="width=800,height=600,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,titlebar=0,resizable=1,status=1,center=true,dependent=false" />

 

And added the below lines in userops_custom.xml

 

<operation description = "custom_menu_item_description" display-name = "Approval Admin Menu Item" id = "cu.view.properties" />

 

Ran a install_webapps -f Content_center after making the entries

 

Thanks,

Lucy

The latest manual is a bit unclear on this feature. You can either ask a custom bean to do custom fancy things to check permissions, OR you can use the native functionality to check userops_custom.xml against role memberships. The latter requires the operationID attribute instead of the the bean reference.

 

I believe you want your ui_custom.xml to have this instead:

<link id="custom.ApprovalAdminConsole" operationID="cu.view.properties" label="custom Console" description="custom Console"  target="_blank" url="/iw-cc/training/CustomAdmin.jsp" windowFeatures="width=800,height=600,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,titlebar=0,resizable=1,status=1,center=true,dependent=false" />
