The AllowedRoles property for a component definitions lets you control the groups that are allowed to view and select a certain component. You can hide a component completely by setting the AllowedRoles property to none, or setting it to a null string which prevents an access check.
The following example shows how to hide or show a certain component, depending on a global setting.
C#
[Component]
public class FileManagementComponent : ComponentDefinitionBase
{
public FileManagementComponent()
: base("epi-cms.component.FileManagement")
{
Categories = new string[]{"cms"};
LanguagePath = "/episerver/cms/components/filemanagement";
SortOrder = 200;
PlugInAreas = new string[] { PlugInArea.DefaultAssetsGroup };
if (!EPiServer.Configuration.Settings.Instance.UseLegacyFileManagerMode)
{
AllowedRoles.Clear();
AllowedRoles.Add("none");
}
}
}
}
