If I was doing a one off solution for my own use case with a limited scope, I would do it he following.
Apply a CSS class to the <body> tag which corresponds to the role. Then I would use CSS to 'display:none' on the elements you want to turn off by referencing the body role class (and keep the permissions applied so if they unhide it won't work). It is not an elegant solution, but it will work. On Aug 17, 2016 8:19 PM, "Marty Godsey" <ma...@gonsource.com> wrote: > > Ok.

Most of the UI is built using huge json structures. These will need to be adapted to account for a user's role.
