Hide Action Buttons

Administrators often need to stop some users from creating, deleting or exporting records without writing access rules. This module adds a set of security groups, each hiding one button type across list, kanban and form views. It patches the OWL list, kanban and form controllers and the action menu. Companies get a simple way to enforce data-entry discipline.

1. 1

   Open the user groups

   In Settings > Users the administrator opens a user and finds the new groups in the access rights tab.

   • One group per button type
   • Assigned per user
2. 2

   Choose what to hide

   The groups are Hide Create Button, Hide Edit Button, Hide Import Button, Hide Export All Button, Hide Action Button, Hide Print Button, Hide Delete Action, Hide Duplicate Action and Hide Export Action.

   • Combine groups as needed
   • Administrator remains unaffected if not assigned
3. 3

   List and kanban views

   After the user reloads, the patched list and kanban renderers hide Create, Import and Export according to the groups.

   • Create button hidden
   • Import menu hidden
   • Export hidden
4. 4

   Form view

   The form controller hides Edit and Create buttons and the Action menu entries such as Delete, Duplicate, Print and Export.

   • Action menu items removed
   • Applies to all models
   • Server rules unchanged
