add security to a gallery

[talzo777]

I am currently, making navigation bar, but i only want the admin navigation to show when there is an administrator logged in. I've tried some options and don't think it has worked as often it makes the whole gallery disappear.

Hi @talzo777 

I have created a horizontal gallery to show different pages

In the Visible property of the Label, I have the formula as shown in the image below:

adminUser is a formula I created in the Formulas property of the app. <--  adminUser = "admin@email.com";  -->

Please tick Accept as solution if the answer is useful.

Thanks,

@AARON_C

Hi @talzo777 

If you want to add security to anything you need to set up roles or you need to query all of the roles and or security groups the current user who is logged in is associated to.

But to simplify watch this video

Hi @talzo777 

Do you mean you dont know how to put the code at all, or simply how to get to the OnStart (or Enable it). You can also use the OnVisible of the Form too versus OnStart

Overall the process isn't hard, it really is pretty much what I said and I do

I create a Collection of Roles and a Collection of Security Groups in the OnStart or OnVisible of the primary form(OnStart is part of the App on the top left, not the Form)

Roles can be anything you want, like I use SharePoint a lot so I dont have to have license fees from Dataverse, or I have roles in AAD. Once they are loaded then in any control you simply add things like @AARON_C  said.

In my case with a collection I would do something like

Visible Property

"Admin" in Roles

Where Roles is the Collection and that returns true or false

The trick is getting the roles/groups. 

What ones would you be using?
