Manage user profile permission
-
Is there a way I can prevent a user from seeing or accessing their profile from the UI dropdown?
-
Hi Phillip,
Alas it is not currently possible. But, since this was possible in the old UI, it will likely become possible.

There is a way, but it involves only going as far as hiding the menu item. it doesn't remove the link in it's entirety.
If that will suffice you will need to make a copy of the ui.main.js from
/opt/mango/web/modules/mangoUI/webdirectory into the
/opt/mango/overrides/web/modules/mangoUI/webWhat I did to get around it is search for the user menu item and insert into the<md-menu-item>at<md-menu-item >\n <md-button aria-label="{{\'ui.app.userProfile\'|maTr}}" ui-sref="ui.settings.users({username: User.current.username})">\n <md-icon md-menu-align-target>person</md-icon>\n <span ma-tr="ui.app.userProfile"></span>\n </md-button>\n </md-menu-item>\nng-if="User.current.username==\'admin\'"So that only admin can see it.
Dunno if that answers the question. But sometimes a hack is all you need...
Would be keen to know Phil's thoughts... -

You won't be able to prevent them from using the API to modify themselves, and since the page is ultimately just a wrapper for that, while I like the hack (didn't test it) it would be a bandage, not a fix. But, his question does explicitly ask about only hiding the menu item, so I gotta think you nailed it!

Thanks Phil, I use it on my site so I can assure you it works or i'd have serious problems with user permissions all over the place. Indeed it is a bandaid but with the way everything's packed with webpack now. Dev customising becomes a little more... awkward.
