Just a recommendation from a security standpoint, but if there is content that only should be viewed by certain roles, I would strongly recommend building separate DataPages for each user. Hiding content using CSS is 'Security through Obscurity' and is not a recommended practice. A user could easily use the developer tool in the browser and expose the hidden content. Now, if you are just trying to guide users, and the content is not a security concern, you may want to look a using rules on a DataPage to hide sections. You could receive the role value into a virtual field, and use this field to control what action is taken.

For example, build 3 sections on the DataPage, each section containing the appropriate information (Section 1 = Customer, Section 2 = Employee, Section 3=Admin).  The virtual field would receive the authentication value on load. You could have 3 rules.

Rule 1: When virtual1 is NOT EQUAL to Customer, hide Section 1

Rule 2: When virtual1 is NOT EQUAL to Employee, hide Section 2

Rule 3: When virtual1 is NOT EQUAL to Admin, hide Section 3

Here is an article that has more information on rules as well: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/forms/conditional-forms/

Hi @GoCubbies This will work fine with Forms but in Tabular Report we dont have either Virtual Field or way to define rules to  show hide section...

Are you trying to hide columns in a report based on user roles? If that is the case, I do not recommend you to do that.  Create one Report page for each and redirect them based on user role to the corresponding DataPage.  https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/common-customizations/create-user-specific-redirect-after-login/

Vipul,

 

I agree with MayMusic on this. You don't want to use CSS to hide content that should be restricted by role as you can easily use the developer tool in most browsers to then see this content.
