To control user access, I recommend setting properties on the $scope within a designated object. These properties can be toggled whenever the user is loaded.
Here's an example implementation assuming the user is loaded when the controller is:
app.controller('SecuredForm', function($scope) {
// Retrieve user data
var user = getSomeUser();
// Set user permissions using a hypothetical scenario
$scope.permissions = {
showAdmin: user.isRegistered && user.isAdmin,
showBasic: user.isRegistered,
showHelp: !user.isBanned
}
});
In your HTML, you can utilize these scope items to dynamically show or hide specific areas:
<div ng-show="permissions.showAdmin">
<h3>Admin Area</h3>
<!-- Admin content here -->
</div>
<div ng-show="permissions.showBasic">
<h3>Basic Info</h3>
<!-- Basic content here -->
</div>
<div ng-show="permissions.showHelp">
<h3>Help</h3>
<!-- Help content here -->
</div>
Note that ng-show and ng-hide only control the visibility of HTML elements on the client side. It's crucial to validate permissions on the server side when executing actions that require authorization. Displaying elements does not grant users actual permission beyond visual access.
