Question

I want to create custom action in c# code for sharepoint list.

I am using SPUserCustomAction type and i need to display this item only for specific users (user are presented in specific group)

Location set to “Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu”;

How can I specify in code that only few users that belongs to my custom group can see this menu item? Any links?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The Rights Attribute is your friend. Here you can set which rights are required for your custom action to be shown like so:

Rights = "ViewListItems"

The rights are based on the SPBasePermission enumeration which you can find here.
