Hello everyone,
Is it possible to hide a page on an element based on user rights?
I know we can hide parameters, but I would like to hide a whole page.

Thanks!

Not sure if that's possible on protocol level, but on visio level this is possible by defining a shape data 'Level' on a page. This way a user can only see that particular page depending on his user access level.

More info here: https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Basic_Functionality/Visio/miscellaneous/Making_a_shape_or_page_visible_only_for_a_particular_access_level.html

You could give a user only access to the visual, not to the data side of an element to limit the pages someone has access to.

Hi Ana,

Another possible workaround will be:

  • Create a button that will be displayed for a specific user level.
  • When clicking this button, a QAction can be triggered to set the value of a parameter. This parameter can be linked to the visibility of a page (See Visibility element). This feature allows you to dynamically display a page based on the value of a parameter.

With this workaround, only users that can see the button will be able to display the hidden page. The drawback here is that a user will need to execute an extra step (clicking a button) to visualize the page.

I don’t think that will work, because when the page will become visible, it will be visible to everyone, not only the user that clicked the button.
