    Navigation based on Member Groups

    Hi guys,

    I have a site, where I would like to create a different user experience based on what role the user logged in has.

    I would like to be able to create a second level navigation, that is based on the role of the user.

    The way I would like it to work is that I through the content section set the public access to role based protection on the documents below. Then in my second level navigation I would like to display only the documents that are available to the logged in user. If I then want to give them access to more information I will include them in the appropriate group.

    Can I do that through XSLT or do I need to create some sort of user control?

    Thanks,
    Rasb

    Hello there,

    Did you ever get any reponse to this? I'm in the same situation right now.

    Ooh, shame noone saw the original post, it's been quite a while.

    Hows about trying something like this (where MEMBERTYPE) is the default member type the user is assigned.

    <xsl:if test="umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() and string(umbraco.library:GetCurrentMember()/@nodeTypeAlias) != 'MEMBERTYPE'">
     <!-- Your nav -->
    </xsl:if>

    You can see the xml associated with a member with something like the following.  This will help see what you can and can't access

    <textarea rows="40" cols="40"><xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetCurrentMember()" /></textarea>

    Hi Dan,

    Thank you for your answer. I'm evaluating if umbraco could be something we can use for some sites instead of sharepoint and I am very impressed so far. Take care.
