Entity permission

[Jeyaram19]

Hi All,

I have used entity permissions to restrict access to the custom entities records.

Is there any option to expose only selective fields from a record in edit mode and retaining the rest of the fields in read only mode.

Thanks,

KJ

Hi @Jeyaram19,

Is your goal to change these fields based on the user's permissions/web role? If not, then just change the fields to "Read Only" (Lock Field) in your form editor - the Portal will honor this. Ideally, you're already using a copy of your standard form for the Portal anyway.

Otherwise, consider using the tips on my blog (https://justinburch.com/portal-security-3/ - scroll down to the "Web Template" sample) to have multiple Entity Forms/Web Forms that are chosen based on Web Role (instead of a field), which each point to a different actual form or form tab (if you aren't showing multiple tabs currently).

Hi @Jeyaram19 

Another way you can achieve this is via JavaScript, you can get the user roles using JS/Liquid and then set the fields enabled/disabled:

$(document).ready(function () {

    var roles = "{{ user.roles }}";
    var isAdmin = "{{ user | has_role: 'Administrators' }}"

    console.log("Is Admin: " + isAdmin);
    console.log("User Roles: " + roles);

});

Note that this method might be simpler, but taking a quick look at the method proposed by @justinburch, it seems to be safer, so just take that into account
