Hello,

I am new to DNN and I have one left navigation menu on DNN site. I want to hide the tab based on user role so I found the setting on the page to disable that from the menu but that didn't work. do we have any other settings that need to be changed or in the source code?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Mahima,

first welcome to DNN!

To understand your problem better (and be able to help you), it would be great if you could give us some information about the DNN version and the skin (theme) used. It might be a problem of the menu used in the skin, if it is a third-party skin or custom skin, please contact the vendor (manufaturer) of the skin as well.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

Ok, so the setting to show a page in the menu or not is global (applies to all users) and only sets the menu visibility (someone with the link would still be able to see it).

Then on each page permissions settings, you can select who (roles or specific users) can view or edit the page. I a user or user in a role has no view permission, then it will also not show in the menu (unless there is a menu or theme problem).

Hi Danial,

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. I am aware of the page permission setting based on user role and I have already updated that but the problem is I don't want to send the link to users instead I want to hide the particular left nav tab basd on user role so that is the problem. here is the source code for left nav tab so for example I want to hide links library tab based on user role, I have already created the role but not sure how to update that in the skin/source code:




Please let me know. Thank You

I am not sure I understand the need correctly. It is automatic that only pages you have permission to view show up in the menu. If the use case is to hide a page you do have permission to view based on role, then I do not see a built-in way. Probably needs to be a custom module. The view in menu option is not scoped by role, the permissions are.
