Hi,

I have a page with a graph on, for instance, but I do not want to render it when the current user is not authorized. At the moment, when it loads, it renders the partial view, but seems to work when I try and enter date range when doing ajax post.

But initial view I do not want to display…

I hope it makes sense.

Thanks

At the top of the action put

        public ActionResult MyAction()
        {
            if (userNotAuthorised && !Request.IsAjaxRequest()) // replace with whatever code you need to determine the user is not authorised
            {
                return new EmptyResult();
            }

            // rest of action as normal
        }

            {
                return new EmptyResult();
            }

            // rest of action as normal
        }

Is there not a way to use the Authorize action filter? I tried putting it on class level of the controller that renders the partial view, but 1st run still renders it…

[Authorize(Users = "user", Roles = "Admin")]
    public class ChartController : Controller
    {

Then this method

public PartialViewResult LeadChart()
{            
     return PartialView(chart);         
}

thanks

You could condition the section on the view it self as shown below.

 @if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{

<p> I will only be shown if the user has logged in</p>


}
else{
<p> You need to login </p>
}

Hope it helps.

Hi Kobiewolke,

Thanks for your post.

You can try this in the view:

@{
    @if (User.IsInRole("Admin"))
    {
        //do something stuff 
    }
}

Hope this can be helpful.

Best Regards,

Eileen

Hi thanks for the posts,

I think both will work, I must just go figure out where these users are setup etc.

Thanks will mark both as answers
