How to customize Navigation resource menu (right-click on resource)

By default next actions are available for superuser on resource in repository (e.g. report):

• Run
• Run in New Tab
• Run in background
• Schedule
• Edit
• Copy
• Cut
• Delete

If you want to show/hide one of the items for a specific role you need to edit ./jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF/actionModel-search.xml

Choose appropriate condition from one of the actionArgs under <context name="resource_menu"> (section that starts on line 150)

Let me demonstrate a couple of examples:

1. Allow only users with ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR to Schedule a report

   • You will need to add "checkAuthenticationRoles" condition for actionArgs="ScheduleAction"
   
   

   <condition test="checkModeAndDevice" testArgs="browse,search,library">
       <condition test="checkAuthenticationRoles" testArgs="ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR">
           <simpleAction labelKey="RM_BUTTON_SCHEDULE_REPORT" 
                         action="invokeRedirectAction" actionArgs="ScheduleAction" 
                         clientTest="canBeScheduled"   className="up"/>
       </condition>
   </condition>
   

2. Allow only users with ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR, ROLE_DEMO to Cut a report

   • add "checkAuthenticationRoles" condition for actionArgs="Move"
   
   

   <condition test="checkMode" testArgs="browse">
       <simpleAction labelKey="RM_BUTTON_COPY_RESOURCE"
                     action="invokeResourceAction"    actionArgs="Copy" 
                     clientTest="canResourceBeCopied" className="up"/>
       <condition test="checkAuthenticationRoles" testArgs="ROLE_DEMO,ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR">
           <simpleAction labelKey="RM_BUTTON_MOVE_RESOURCE" 
                         action="invokeResourceAction"   actionArgs="Move" 
                         clientTest="canResourceBeMoved" className="up"/>
       </condition>
   </condition
   

3. Allow users to Edit a report, domain, datasource etc from Library (by default, user can only do this from Search and Repository)

   • edit testArgs for actionArgs="EditResourceAction"
   
   

   <condition test="checkModeAndDevice" testArgs="browse,search,library">
       <simpleAction labelKey="RM_BUTTON_WIZARD" 
                     action="invokeRedirectAction"    actionArgs="EditResourceAction" 
                     clientTest="canResourceBeEdited" className="up"/>
   </condition>
   

4. Deny users with ROLE_USER to Copy resource from Repository

   • add "!checkAuthenticationRoles" condition for actionArgs="Copy"
   
   

   <condition test="checkMode" testArgs="browse">
       <condition test="!checkAuthenticationRoles" testArgs="ROLE_USER">
           <simpleAction labelKey="RM_BUTTON_COPY_RESOURCE" 
                         action="invokeResourceAction"    actionArgs="Copy" 
                         clientTest="canResourceBeCopied" className="up"/>
       </condition>
       <simpleAction labelKey="RM_BUTTON_MOVE_RESOURCE" 
                     action="invokeResourceAction"   actionArgs="Move" 
                     clientTest="canResourceBeMoved" className="up"/>
   </condition>
