Showing a Link Only to a Specific User Group in Evolution CMS
A practical access-control pattern for Evolution CMS templates that need group-aware links or actions.
If a link should only be visible to one class of users, that decision belongs to access logic, not to CSS hiding or client-side conditions. Evolution CMS already has the building blocks to make that check on the server side.
Typical use case
A site using HybridAuth or another login layer wants to show an action only to a specific set of authorized users.
Recommended approach
- Resolve the current frontend user.
- Check real membership or role information.
- Render the link only when the rule passes.
This keeps the UI honest and prevents users from seeing actions they should not use. On Evo projects, server-side visibility rules are usually the cleanest foundation even when the login stack is custom.
