Question

In my Play application, I’ve added Secure module. But I haven’t found a way to check user profile in views. For example, one of the possible roles is “admin”. When viewing certain pages, a button should be visible to admin’s only. How to do that?

My first idea was to check session variable but I found nothing there. Security object is not available in views. Then I thought about putting data in there by overriding onAuthenticated method in my authentification controller, but I’m not sure that is the best way to proceed.

What do you think?

Answer 1

If you have your own security module that extends controller.secure.Security, then within your view you can do this:

#{if controllers.MySecurity.check("isAdmin") }
   ...template code...
#{/if}
