Enable ImangeManager for some, not for others...

[Avery]

Hello,

I would like to disable the ImageManager for certain users of my site and display a message accordingly when they click on the button.  Is that possible?

Example: A membership site where premium members can upload and manage photos in the editors but a normal user cannot and sees a message telling them to upgrade membership.

Hope it's possible.  Thank you!

Hi Avery,

RadEditor does not offer the required functionality out of the box. However, you can achieve the required functionality by assigning a handler to the ClientCommandExecuting client-side event of the RadEditor to check whether the user has permission or not and proceed with the command execution or cancel it accordingly, .e.g:

<telerik:RadEditor id="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientCommandExecuting="OnClientCommandExecuting">
    <ImageManager ViewPaths="~/Images" />
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientCommandExecuting(editor, args)
    {
        if(args.get_commandName() == "ImageManager")
        {
             if(!userHasPermission) //userHasPermission is a custom boolean variable containing information regarding the user
             {
                 args.set_cancel(true); //cancel further execution
                 alert("You do not have permission to use ImageManager");
             }
        }
    }
</script>

Please note that this is just an example and need to be extended in order to match the exact scenario.
