Hi @sarsar55.. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- In Refine, you can control the visibility of UI elements based on user roles using the accessControl prop. This prop can be used to skip the access control check with its enabled property or to hide the button when the user does not have the permission to access the resource with hideIfUnauthorized property. Here is an example of how you can use it with Material UI (MUI):

import { CreateButton } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
export const MyListComponent = () => {  
 return <CreateButton accessControl={{ enabled: true, hideIfUnauthorized: true }} />;  
};

import { CreateButton } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
export const MyListComponent = () => {  
 return <CreateButton accessControl={{ enabled: true, hideIfUnauthorized: true }} />;  
};

In this example, the CreateButton will be hidden if the user is not authorized. You can replace CreateButton with any other button component like ShowButton, EditButton, DeleteButton, etc. Please note that this is relevant only when an accessControlProvider is provided to <Refine/>. For more details, you can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authorization/access-control-provider/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

I mean I want to hide the resource based on the user role, is there a props for that . Something like that: name: "faulttypes", list: "/faulttypes", create: "/faulttypes/create", edit: "/faulttypes/edit/:id", show: "/faulttypes/show/:id", icon: <FaultTypesIcon />, show: id user.role == admin meta: { canDelete: true, @kapa.ai I mean I want to hide the resource based on the user role, is there a props for that .

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- In Refine, you can control the visibility of resources based on user roles using the meta.hide property of the resource. This property can be used to hide a resource from the menu. However, the resource will still be accessible via the URL. Here is an example of how you can use it:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
  
const App = () => (  
 <Refine  
 ...  
 resources={[  
 {  
 name: "faulttypes",  
 list: "/faulttypes",  
 create: "/faulttypes/create",  
 edit: "/faulttypes/edit/:id",  
 show: "/faulttypes/show/:id",  
 icon: <FaultTypesIcon />,  
 meta: {  
 // Faulttypes resource will be hidden from the menu but will be accessible via the URL  
 hide: user.role !== 'admin',  
 canDelete: true,  
 },  
 },  
 ]}  
 />  
);

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
  
const App = () => (  
 <Refine  
 ...  
 resources={[  
 {  
 name: "faulttypes",  
 list: "/faulttypes",  
 create: "/faulttypes/create",  
 edit: "/faulttypes/edit/:id",  
 show: "/faulttypes/show/:id",  
 icon: <FaultTypesIcon />,  
 meta: {  
 // Faulttypes resource will be hidden from the menu but will be accessible via the URL  
 hide: user.role !== 'admin',  
 canDelete: true,  
 },  
 },  
 ]}  
 />  
);

In this example, the faulttypes resource will be hidden from the menu if the user's role is not 'admin'. Please note that you need to replace user.role with the actual logic to get the user's role. For more details, you can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/faq#how-to-hide-items-from-the-sider-component). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai please write the logic to get the user.role

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- In Refine, you can get the user's role using the getPermissions method of the authProvider. This method is used to fetch the user roles. Here is an example of how you can use it:

import { authProvider } from "./authProvider";  

const getRole = async () => {
  const role = await authProvider.getPermissions?.();
  return role;
};

const userRole = getRole();

import { authProvider } from "./authProvider";  

const getRole = async () => {
  const role = await authProvider.getPermissions?.();
  return role;
};

const userRole = getRole();

In this example, authProvider.getPermissions is used to get the user's role. Please note that you need to replace authProvider with your actual auth provider. For more details, you can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/providers/auth-provider/#getpermissions). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Hello @sarsar55.
Default sider is integrated with access control provider, https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/authorization/#sider when you implemented, you can restrict resources for certain user roles
