Screen Question

I have a basic requirement to show certain sections of a web page only to users of specific role types.  What is the best way of doing that using ofbiz.  Can we include-screen on basis of some role type checks? 
 
Thanks & Regards,
Deepa

First have a look at:

http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/ofbiz/security.php
https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBTECH/ofbiz-security.html

For restricting sections of a page see some examples below.

In Freemarker (.ftl files):
(set a "hasPermission" variable in an action script before)

<#if security.hasEntityPermission("SOME_PERMISSION", "_VIEW", session)>
    <form>...</form>
<#else>
   <h3>${uiLabelMap.PagePermissionError}</h3>
</#if>


In Screens:

<screen name="...">
    <section>
        <condition>
            <if-has-permission permission="SOME_PERMISSION" action="_VIEW"/>
        </condition>
        <widgets>
           <include-screen name="SomethingYouWantToShow" location="..."/>
        </widgets>
        <fail-widgets>
            <include-screen name="NoPermission" location="..."/>
        </fail-widgets>
    </section>
</screen>

Cheers,
René
