I have a Tridion implementation that is, in essence, multi-tennent. Different interest groups use the same environment. Security takes care that users cannot see publications/content from groups they are not permitted to see. However, in the publishing queue, all users can see the title of items that are in the queue; they cannot open the item but they can see the title (e.g. “Our company releases sky high profits!”)
For sensitivity reasons I would like hide the title of the item when the queue list is loaded according to the scoped publications of the user viewing the queue. So, for example, If I am only able to work in publications b & c but not in a & d when the queue loads, I can see the titles of content coming from b & c but not a & d. I will see something like “Item from publication D”.
Is this straight-forward to do with an extension and does any one have some examples of how to do this?
The logic is the most complicated thing about it. You need to work out what the user can see or not.
This is a good candidate for a Data Extender to the CME. Filter out the items on the server before the response is returned. There is a section of the online documentation dedicated to the topic, so that is hopefully enough to get you started.
A crafty person would still be able to access the information by directly querying the API / Core Service, but I imagine that is not a high priority in this case.
