I have created a custom action for items in a list (custom printing of the item). I have defined a new SharePoint group called ‘Print Users’. I want to restrict the availability of the printing custom action to only members of the ‘Print Users’ group.

I haven’t been able to find an attribute in either the feature.xml or element.xml files (where the custom print action is defined) that would allow me to filter the visibility to a group. Is that the wrong place to look? Can this even be done, or do I have to write code in Print.aspx (the target of the custom action) to check for group membership and then render a ‘Sorry you don’t have permissions’ message instead of the real printing page?
