How to hide the "Switch to view mode" button based on a role
This article provides an example JavaScript snippet that could hide the "Switch to view mode" button based on the user's role.
How to use it?
First of all, you need to get the role name you'd like to hide this button for. It can be checked by running
GET/roles API v 0.9 in the Sisense Swagger: https://sisense.dev/guides/restApi/v0/?platform=linux&spec=L2023.6#/roles/getAllRoles
In our example, we're applying the script to the designer role i.e. 'contributor':
Secondly, you need to update the user role in "baseRoleName" in the script and add it to the dashboard via the 'Edit Script' option:
The code snippet:
dashboard.on('initialized', () => {
if (prism.user.baseRoleName === 'contributor') {
$('button.btn--switch-mode').remove()
}
})
After that, please save the changes and refresh the dashboard page. Hope this helps!
