Hi @jenish7822. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, it is possible to create a role-based menu in the sider using refine. You can customize the default refine Sider Menu by using refine hooks and passing custom components to the
Sider
property. You can also use the useCan
hook or the <CanAccess />
component to check if the user has the required permissions to view specific menu items.
First, create a custom Sider component that includes the role-based menu items. You can use the useCan
hook to check if the user has the required permissions for each menu item. Then, pass the custom Sider component to the Layout
component's Sider
property.
Here's an example of how to create a custom Sider with role-based menu items:
Then, pass the CustomSider
component to the Layout
component's Sider
property:
For more information on customizing the Sider, refer to the customization example (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/customization/customSider) in the refine documentation.

@kapa.ai without using custom sider, can we do someting like based on the role, hide the menu in the sider ?
for example:
{
name: "posts",
list: "posts",
create: "/posts/create,
meta: {
hide: role !== "admin",
},
},
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Yes, you can hide menu items in the sider based on the user's role without creating a custom sider. You can use the
meta.hide
property in the resources
array when defining your resources in the <Refine>
component. However, you'll need to use the useCan
hook to check the user's role and set the hide
property accordingly.
Here's an example of how to hide a menu item based on the user's role:
In this example, the posts
menu item will be hidden if the user does not have the view
action permission for the posts
resource. You can customize the useCan
hook parameters to match your desired role-based access control.
For more information on hiding resources in the sider, refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/refine-config#resources-meta-hide).

@kapa.ai i think we cant use useCan outside of refine
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
You're correct. My apologies for the confusion. The
useCan
hook cannot be used outside of the <Refine>
component. In this case, you can create a custom Sider component and use the useCan
hook inside it to conditionally render menu items based on the user's role.
Here's an example of how to create a custom Sider with role-based menu items:
Then, pass the CustomSider
component to the Layout
component's Sider
property:
For more information on customizing the Sider, refer to the customization example (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/customization/customSider) in the refine documentation.

@kapa.ai can you give me a customized sider like ThemedSiderV2 of MUI which has this role based functionality.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Sure, here's an example of a custom Sider component with role-based functionality using ThemedSiderV2 from MUI:
Then, pass the
CustomSider
component to the ThemedLayoutV2
component's Sider
property:
In this example, the custom Sider component uses the useCan
hook to check if the user has the required permissions for each menu item. It then filters the menu items based on the user's permissions and renders the filtered menu items.

@kapa.ai how to provide a title to this sider ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To provide a title to the custom Sider, you can use the
Title
prop of the ThemedSiderV2
component. You can create a custom title component and pass it to the Title
prop.
Here's an example of how to create a custom title component:
Then, pass the CustomTitle
component to the Title
prop of the ThemedSiderV2
component in your CustomSider
:
Finally, pass the CustomSider
component to the ThemedLayoutV2
component's Sider
property:
In this example, the CustomTitle
component is passed to the Title
prop of the ThemedSiderV2
component, and it will be displayed as the title of the Sider.
