Hide buttons based on user role

Hi ,

I created a form and inside my form I have few buttons couple of them are approve and reject.
I want to show these two buttons only for admin role users. I created two users with two different roles like shf-admin and shf-owner in tomcat-users.xml .
I tried doing this with

oxf.fr.detail.button.BUTTON.visible.*.* , I am able to hide the button but I am not user how this can be achieved on user role basis.

Your help or inputs would be really great and helpful.

Thank you in advance,
Satish

Hi Satish,

In the XPath expression, to only show a given button if the user is an
admin, you should just be able to use something along these lines:

xxf:user-roles() = 'shf-admin'

For this to work, you'll also need to set the
`oxf.fr.authentication.container.roles` property to list all the possible
roles you have, or at least those you are interested in. You'll let us know
if this works for you.

Satish, in this case, you would call the `xxf:user-roles()` XPath function as
part of the XPath expression you put in the
`oxf.fr.detail.button.BUTTON.visible.*.*` property you mentioned earlier. Or
am I missing what you're asking about?

Alex. I was able to do this with the following property

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.button.approve.visible.*.*">
xxf:user-roles() = 'shf-admin'
</property>

Thanks much for your inputs.
