Step-by-Step Guide
- Download a sample plugin attached.
- Upload the add-on to the /plugins directory on your Sisense environment using File Manager: https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/uploading-files-to-customize-your-linux-deployment.htm
- Create a "Test" group and add a user to it that should not have access to the Git button. The plugin checks for a user group named "Test".
- After installation and configuration, test by logging in as a user from the restricted group and verify the Git button is hidden.
Note: The current version of the plugin requires the group's name to remain as "Test"; customization for other group names requires further development within the run.js file.
Limitations
- The hidden Git button might have a delay before disappearing as the plugin fetches user data post-initialization.
- Direct role-based modifications are not available; only group-based restrictions are possible with the provided plugin.
Conclusion
By using the provided plugin, you can effectively restrict access to the Git button for certain user groups in Sisense.
