Hide bulk edit based on user logged in

[ParkLoey]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to hide the bulk edit option in a tabular page depending on the currently logged in user. For example, if the user logged in is an "employee", the option to bulk edit is hidden. If they are an "admin", it is shown. I can't seem to find any option to do this in Caspio but maybe some of you has experience with it.

Thanks!!

Hi @ParkLoey,

You can use the following JavaScript on the Footer of your DataPage:

 

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {
 if("[@authfield:Role]" ==  "Employee"){
           var elems= document.querySelectorAll(".cbResultSetCheckBoxCell");

[].forEach.call(elems, function(elem, i) {
elem.remove();

});

var checkboxheader = document.querySelector(".cbResultSetHeaderCheckBoxCell")

var bulkedit = document.querySelector("[id*='PageActionsCtnr']")

checkboxheader.remove();
bulkedit.remove();

}
});
</script>

 

make sure to change the Role in [@authfield:Role] with your actual role field, and Employee with the role type you want to hide the Bulk Edit option for.

Hi @ParkLoey - you can also use this script in the Footer of the DataPage:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {
 
if("[@authfield:Role]" == "Employee"){ 

document.querySelector("nav[class*='cbActionPanel']").style.display='none'; // Hide Edit button

let label  = document.querySelector('table[data-cb-name="cbTable"] th:nth-of-type(1)'); // Select the label of first column for checkboxes
let values  = document.querySelectorAll('table[data-cb-name="cbTable"] td:nth-of-type(1)'); // Select all the values in the first column for checkboxes
  
       /* Removing the selected fields */
       label.parentElement.removeChild(label)
       values.forEach(el => {
             el.parentElement.removeChild(el)
       });

} 

});
</script>

Hi @ParkLoey,

if you have the data grouping enabled but still want to hide the checkboxes conditionally based on user role, you can use the following:

 

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {
 if("[@authfield:Role]" ==  "Employee"){
           var elems= document.querySelectorAll("input[type='checkbox']");

[].forEach.call(elems, function(elem, i) {
elem.style.display = "none"

});

var checkboxheader = document.querySelector(".cbResultSetHeaderCheckBoxCell")

var bulkedit = document.querySelector("[id*='PageActionsCtnr']")

bulkedit.style.display = "none"

}
});
</script>
