I have a responsive portal with about 6 procedures on it. I want to limit access to certain procedures based on user ID. I can easily accomplish this through the security center, but I get the ACCESS Denied and the procedure container still displays.

Hoping for the best way to limit access and not display anything to the user, not even a message.

Hey Joe,

I don't believe there's an implemented way to only show certain panels housing procedures within a BIP. I know you can do that for whole pages, but that is as granular as it gets I believe. Sorry.

You can add logic to display something different depending on the user logged in, but the panel will be there if you initially put it there to display things for other users.

Hopefully they will add that feature soon.

I was hoping someone came up with a nifty way of handling.
My backup plan was to reduce the output of that panel to nothing and hope that the responsive portal will make it real tiny or disappear.

Joe,

If you ever stumble upon one, let me know. Unless there's a way to interface with the panel code, then there is no way to show/hide or add/delete panels that should only show for certain users, that I know of. There are ways to do that in security settings for the pages, but not as of yet for the containers within a page that house content. That would be a nice feature though, for sure.

From what we have done here, you can secure a portal and a page on a portal. Any more, and I think you will need to add a security layer in the fex to top it running.

As mentioned in another post, we have &FOCSECUSER, &FOCSECGROUP and &FOCSECGROUPS. Perhaps this could be used to restrict the execution, and force the fex to stop.
