Gadget permissions

Hi,

Is it possible to define permissions for gadgets?

We have developed a translation gadget and have a client request of limiting access to it per role. I can see permissions per page and also permissions for functions, but not for gadgets.

Any tips appriciated.

Thanks,

Helder

I don't think you can set access rights for gadgets anywhere in the UI, but your gadget developers can set permissions explicitly in the gadget class decoration, like this:

[Gadget]
[Authorize(Roles = "CmsAdmins, YourCustomRole")]
public class MyGadget : SomeBaseClass
{
}

See http://world.episerver.com/Documentation/Items/Tech-Notes/EPiServer-CMS-6/EPiServer-CMS-60/OnlineCenter-Developer-Documentation/ (doc is for CMS 6 but should still apply to CMS 7)
