At my starting page i displayed documents and an upload link to upload a document. If a user has read access, he also see the upload link. But i would like to have it like the “add new item” link below the normal list views – only the user with the right access permission can add new items. So what can be done? Using javascript? I asked google and google gave me the hint to look into this post from Scott Hatcher, in which he wrote about Conditionally Format XSLT Based on User Permissions. I tried and it works like charm for me.
Just insert a snippet of code around your upload link which look like this:
<xsl:if test="ddwrt:IfHasRights(2)"> <!-- Display upload link or not --> </xsl:if>
If you want to use other permissions like delete or anything, you just have to change the number at IfHasRights(XX). See the following table.
| Permission | Code |
| ViewListItems | 1 |
| AddListItems | 2 |
| EditListItems | 4 |
