Restrict access to panels(not modules) based on role

[shannonhamilton]

Any help here would be greatly appriciated.

Ive created a few extra panels in the accounts module. What I am looking for is to be able to allow people with role of "accounting" to be able to view the "accounting details" panel.

Anyone who is not a member of the "accounting" role should not see this panel what so ever.

I am running:
WinXP Pro SP3 / Sugar 5.2.2 CE full install

In your custom definition file for the subpannel check for the user's allowed Role actions and if the
user is permitted to do(or not to do stuff) unset the specific subpanel definition.
... That simple

So are you saying to check the users allowed role actions for the Accounts panel? I dont see how that would restrict access to the "panels" within the module Accounts. Ill look for the code and that may bring the light in the door.

Also, for others inquiring where is this custom definition file for the subpanel located? Im assuming: htdocs\sugarcrm\custom\modules. And what would the filename be???

Thanks for the speedy reply!

ooouch...
I just realized you are not talking about sub panels (are you? )
Sorry! ... a little burned out here.
Anyways... it works in a similar way.

Your stuff should look something like ... if I was wrong the first time.

 if(!ACLController::checkAccess('Accounts', 'list', true)){
   unset($viewdefs['Contacts']['EditView']['panels']['YOURPANEL NAME']);
}; 
  

in your meta (edit/detail)viewdefs.php data file . It should be in the custom folder too.
BUT this file is also buried in the cache folders so after you make your changes you'll need to clear out the cache before you do anything else.
Cache is getting recreated everytime you click on your module, so this should be part of your routing when debugging
