Hi,

Could some one help me the below query

On Author if there is any way that on page where there are many custom components are available.I mean the components   that at code level will under /apps/project

For a specific component  on that page how to restrict the edit access to a particular  group .

So that users of that particular group can edit the dialog where as for other users the dialog appears hidden or in disabled state

Thanks

This can be done by just removing permissions of that component for those particular users, you can do groups segregation and add users on those groups ,which has permission to access those components.

Please check this article I have written for same

In component Model you can write a check or you can write a filter as well, if you have more than one component.

try {
   boolean decoration=false;
   User currentUser = request.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(User.class);
   
   if(currentUser.isAdmin())
    return;
   
   Iterator<Group> currentUserGroups = currentUser.memberOf();

   while (currentUserGroups.hasNext()) {
    Group grp = (Group) currentUserGroups.next();
    if(grp.getID().equals(GROUP)) {
     decoration =true;
     return;
    }
   }

   ComponentContext cc = WCMUtils.getComponentContext(request);
   cc.setDecorate(decoration);
  } catch (Exception e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
   logger.info(e.getMessage());
  }
