SID-00943: How to control doc to be partially viewable

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.1.1	Perl version:

Is it possible to control a doc so that only certain people can view a specific part of the doc?

We are thinking about having one page containing a full set of data, and having a second page that only displays parts of the first page. But we don't want to manage them seperately, so if we modify data on the first page, then ideally the content for the second page also changes correspondingly.

Is this feasible? if yes, how can we do it?

Discussion and Answer

There are two options:

1. Use INCLUDE: Use a %INCLUDE{}% of an access restricted page. People who have access will see the included content, other people won't see any included text. More at VarINCLUDE, IncludeTopicsAndWebPages.

2. Use IF: Use conditional %IF{}% to selectively hide text. This is not secure because people can do a raw view or edit to see the text. More at VarIF, IfStatements.
