How about adding a custom web filter to alfresco or share?

You can include your logic using Alfresco Java API in order to get user group and requested page.

Take a look at https://github.com/keensoft/alfresco-agreement-filter/blob/master/agreement-filter-share/src/main/java/es/keensoft/share/filter/AgreementFilter.java for reference on creating custom web filters for Alfresco.

hi Angel,
thanks for you response.

I had a look into the source code, and this approach seems interesting.

Although, it seems to me like this method can only be used during authentication, is that right? I'd still like to apply that filter pretty much every time a user opens a page (so `WebFilter` might be a good approach, but not with the `AuthenticationUtil` method).

Or am I missing something?

Thanks

EDIT:

I just realized that class is actually implemented through WebFilter, which is triggered for every "/page" web request). Could be a good solution actually. I'll have it a go.
I might update this post with the outcome,
Thanks.
