I have Action Buttons I don´t want users in general to click. But they must be on pages the users can see.
Action buttons refer to a specific column however, where there is a formula with the code.
WHat happens if I block user access (to even read) that column?
Ok, apparently the Widget displays a “Some required columns are not mapped”, which is very weird. While it works, ideal situation would be to hide the widget or to have a different message like “You don´t have frigging rights to this button, peasant. Shoo!”
This is a good point. We just didn’t think about this interaction. We’re adding it to our list of things to polish, thanks for reporting it.
Ha, I only discovered it because I wanted to block an Action Button to common users.
Alas, considering an Action Button is QUITE DANGEROUS as it can change data in hundreds of rows, SPECIFIC access to Action Button should be controlled
Here Is a different approach to action buttons, based on js scripts instead of user actions.
I think this is much more flexible:
What I miss is that the user variable (a reference to the current user of the widget) is not available to custom widgets. If available, I could define the button visibility based on user properties.
