User-Based Access to Loan Quick Menu
Overview
With the Platinum release, you can now see or use the Loan Quick Menu items on the contract page only if you have the necessary permissions to see or use it. The Loan Quick Menu items are rendered based on the permissions assigned to the user. If you use a global method to perform any Loan Quick Menu actions, the system notifies you of any error messages if there are insufficient permissions for that menu.
For more information on the error messages, see the Error Messages or Exceptions subsection of the User-Based Access to UI Elements section of this guide.
What are the APIs that can be used to check if the user has the access to run a feature?
The following APIs can be used to check if the user has access to run a feature:
isAuthorizedToUseFeature
This global method validates if a user has access to run a feature. It takes the custom permission name as an input parameter and returns the Result object with hasAuthorization and exceptionMessage set.
