My client wants a menu with a link for each content type.

  • Each item will displayed if the user have permission to create that content type.
  • Each item will show a list of content only for that content type.

To accomplish this, I create a view page that have a filter for bundle. In that way I can use same view page for all content types. I tried too, to use same view page like /admin/content but I need to pass the content type to filter for that machine name.

What I trying to do, is create a menu item for each content type, and set permission for each item(link) using the permission that have each content type.

E.g.: My menu have a Item Article. You should see this item only If you have right to create an Article. When you click here you will see all the content Articles(like /admin/content).

It suppose that a user or role, that have permission to create a content type.. should see the item.

How can I create menu items with permission to a view?

There is my issue, because it use the permission in the view page, and not in the route.

enter image description here

.links.menu.yml

content_types.admin_1:
 title: 'Articles'
 parent: content_types.admin_menu
 route_name: content_types.admin_1
 route_parameters:
  type: article
 description: 'Content articles'

content_types.admin_2:
 title: 'News'
 parent: content_types.admin_menu
 route_name: content_types.admin_2
 route_parameters:
  type: nouvelle
 description: 'Content news'

.routing.yml

content_types.admin_1:
  path: '/admin/view-test'
  defaults:
    _controller: '\Drupal\system\Controller\SystemController::systemAdminMenuBlockPage'
    _title: 'Articles'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'create article content'

content_types.admin_2:
  path: '/admin/view-test'
  defaults:
    _controller: '\Drupal\system\Controller\SystemController::systemAdminMenuBlockPage'
    _title: 'News'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'create nouvelle content'

As you see I added _permission: 'create article content' but it didn't do anything.

admin/structure/views/view/view_test?destination=/en/admin/structure/views

enter image description here

The role for the user that I'm using doesn't have permission to create article or news.

UPDATED:

I created a .permissions.yml and used _permission: 'access menu item 1' but it display the item even if this permission is not ticket for that role.

.permissions.yml

'access menu item 1':
  title: Access Menu MTL 1
  description: Allow users to access menu MTL

Any suggestion?

The issue is try to use same view page(/admin/content) for each Content type with different permissions. You dont set permissions to each link, instead you set permission to the view (or item) that you are trying to access.

  • Have you defined your permissions in a .permissions.yml file? Please see kevinquillen.com/drupal/2016/02/21/… Sep 14, 2018 at 19:36
  • not, I think those permissions are created when content type are created, or not?

  • No, the ones you're using are not defined. You can check in the permissions page for the correct names created by Node module Sep 14, 2018 at 19:40
  • I see this : 'Article: Create new content' but .. when I export the config for that role.. it add this 'create article content'

  • The entire solution appears a little hackish. Dynamic menu items might help. But maybe I'm just missing your point. For a good answer, it would be of help for you to add some further information about what your overall goals are, and why you use a view instead of menus/local tasks. Sep 14, 2018 at 23:00

What I did:

I tried using dynamic menus. But it isn't functional for my purpose. Because, each link menu could have different access by roles.

Then I realized that I needed to create a view for each type of content to be able to manage an individual permission.

Therefore I need to create a view each time that I create a CT, so the is no sense to do it dynamically.

How I did:

  1. I create a view for each CT with a filter content by type. And also I set permission for each view for same CT. And a custom route. enter image description here

  2. Create one item menu for each CT and set as route same as is in the view.

.links.menu.yml

    vdm.tc_sujet:
     title: 'Sujets'
     parent: system.admin_content
     route_name: vdm.tc_sujets
     description: "Content type subject."
     weight: -1

.routing.yml

    vdm.tc_sujets:
     path: '/admin/content/sujet'
     defaults:
       _controller: '\Drupal\system\Controller\SystemController::systemAdminMenuBlockPage'
       _title: 'Sujets'
  1. As result if user have access to that view the item menu will be displayed.

enter image description here

Note: I think that dynamic menus it fix great for add link item to nodes.
