Custom button only visible to specific usergroup

Hey guys!

I need to make an button (or anchor) that links to my "control panel", a front end administration page i have created. The problem is i only want the button to be visible when a user logs in, and is member of a specific user group.

Is this something that can be accomplished?

Thanks

You could use the MemberCheck snippet. It is part of the default MODx installation, so you should have it. It displays a specified chunk if the viewer is a member of a specified group. Your chunk would contain your link.

Alternately, your management page can be assigned to a document group that is associated with the user group, thus the page will only show up in the menu (or be accessible at all) for logged-in users who are members of the associated user group.

Wow, that was easy. Membercheck works like a charm!

I went with your first suggestion since i don’t what the link to show up in my menu, but in a dropdown window with user options.

Thanks again sott
