The UI Manage Permission Menu allows you to configure category permissions for user-defined groups at run-time.

This feature eliminates the need for app designers to go into the UI builder to manually set the permission for every menu category.

Get Started

The easiest way to see how the Manage Permission menu works is to download the attached demo app, import, publish and run the app in your Joget platform:

titleHow to use this permission plugin in a UI category

In the UI category that you wish to manage its permission via this plugin, edit the category's permission as shown in figure 4. After setting up the Permission Menu, remember to configure all the respective UI categories. Note that, multiple categories can use the same permission key. Setting up as such will grant multiple categories to a permission group.
