Not able to Restrict Custom Menu Item based on Role

priya singh

Hi,

 

Below is my the instance in the UI_custom.xml

 

<link id="hal.ccpro.file_menu.delete_file.link" label="Delete Files" url="/../iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/hal_delete.ipl"
target="_blank" windowFeatures="width=800,height=600,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,titlebar=0,resizable=1,status=1,center=true,dependent=false"/>

 

have made below entry in userops_custom.xml

<operation id="hal.ccpro.file_menu.delete_file.link" description="Delete Files" display-name="Delete Files"/>

 

ran maketoolkit.ipl and it appears fine in the UI and is also listed in the customoperations while editing roles in Admin tab.

But the custom menu is not restricted based on roles and appears for all users even if i uncheck the checkbox.

Thanks,

Priya

That's because you haven't linked the two together. Your <link> needs a operationID="hal.ccpro.file_menu.delete_file.link" attribute (meaning your operation ID does not have to be the same ID as the link it controls, so you could hook up multiple menu items to the same operation flag if you wanted to).
