Be.security.ifHasRole ViewHelper <f:be.security.ifHasRole>

This ViewHelper implements an ifHasRole/else condition for backend users and backend groups.

Role refers to backend user groups. The role attribute can either be the title of a group, or the uid.

Examples

Basic usage:

<f:be.security.ifHasRole role="Administrator">
   This is being shown in case the current BE user belongs to a BE usergroup (aka role) titled "Administrator" (case sensitive)
</f:be.security.ifHasRole>
Copied!

Everything inside the <f:ifHasRole> tag is being displayed if the logged in backend user belongs to the specified backend group.

Using the usergroup uid as role identifier:

<f:be.security.ifHasRole role="1">
   This is being shown in case the current BE user belongs to a BE usergroup (aka role) with the uid "1"
</f:be.security.ifHasRole>
Copied!

Everything inside the <f:ifHasRole> tag is being displayed if the logged in backend user belongs to the specified backend group.

IfRole / then / else:

<f:be.security.ifHasRole role="Administrator">
   <f:then>
      This is being shown in case you have the role.
   </f:then>
   <f:else>
      This is being displayed in case you do not have the role.
   </f:else>
</f:be.security.ifHasRole>
Copied!

Everything inside the <f:then></f:then> tag is displayed if the logged in backend user belongs to the specified backend group. Otherwise, everything inside the <f:else></f:else> tag is displayed.
