Use Case: custom menu visible
Description:
Hello.
I added a custom menu to the Actions menu, and I want it to be visible only to a specific group.
Is there any reference material I can use? Thank you.
in customactions.xml file you can add a filter
<action name="UpdateCalculatedValues">
<command url="/netmarkets/jsp/UpdateCalculatedValues.jsp" windowType="popup"/>
<includeFilter name="ActionFilter"/>
</action>
and then in filter class you can add your logic :
public class ActionFilter extends DefaultSimpleValidationFilter {
//in prevalidate action add below logic (Please not this is not complete code, these are just snippets which may help you)
/*
if(componentID.equalsIgnoreCase(Constants.UPDATE_CALCULATED_VALUES))
{
// enable action if user has 'Modify'access.
groupName = "Sample Group";
WTPrincipal sessionUser = SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal();
WTGroup group = getGroup(groupName);
boolean isMember = isUserGroupMember(group, sessionUser);
boolean hasModifyAccess = AccessControlHelper.manager.hasAccess(user, part,AccessPermission.MODIFY);
if(hasModifyAccess && isMember ){
validationStatus = UIValidationStatus.ENABLED;
}
}
*/
public static WTGroup getGroup(String groupName) {
WTGroup group = null;
try {
QuerySpec querySpec = new QuerySpec(WTGroup.class);
querySpec.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTGroup.class, WTGroup.NAME,SearchCondition.EQUAL, groupName), new int[] { 0 });
QueryResult queryResult = PersistenceHelper.manager.find((StatementSpec)querySpec);
group = (queryResult!=null && queryResult.hasMoreElements()) ? (WTGroup) queryResult.nextElement() : null;
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return group;
}
public static boolean isUserGroupMember(WTGroup group, WTPrincipal sessionUser) throws WTException {
boolean retVal = false;
if(group!=null) {
if(group.isMember(sessionUser)){
retVal = true;
}
}
return retVal;
}
}
