How to show and hide UI elements based on User Role

[Ashit Vora]

Hi,

This is more of a architecture question.

I've an app with two types of users - Admin and Staff.

I want to show hide certain UI components based on user's role.

what's the best way to do that.

One way I was thinking is once the app is bootstraped, I get User's info and store it in rootscope and the use it always to show/hide UI components.

Is this the right approach?

Yes or create a directive that does it for you

Thanks Pete.

Btw, do you have any link handy (some blog article) that explains this scenario?

Angular-app uses something similar for routing. But it is essentially the same. Make a service that you can ask for the user role and return a bool. This function can then be used inside an ng-show/hide

Yes, one right approach. We went even simpler and limit it to page.
