How can i limit Main tabs view per user in Nuxeo DM 5.5?

[catherine_]

I have 2 users i.e John and Ana.

I want to provide access rights to both of them such that:

John can only see the Home, Document Managaement Tab. Ana can only see the Home, Admin Center Tab.

is it possible to do this via extension points? Please help

As the Main tabs are defined through actions, you can append any filter you want to the actions to show / hide them.

For instance, to hide the Document Management tab for users in group1:

<require>org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.actions</require>

<extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.actions.ActionService"
  point="actions">
  <action id="documents">
    <filter-id>denyForGroup1</filter-id>
  </action>
</extension>

<extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.actions.ActionService"
  point="filters">
  <filter id="denyForGroup1">
    <rule grant="false">
      <condition>#{currentUser.isMemberOf('group1')}</condition>
    </rule>
  </filter>
</extension>

Don't forget the require element to correctly override the existing actions.
