Hide Templates from unauthorized users

[Bilal]

Hi,

I am developing an application where based on the user role, he/she can view a set of Templates. So in case, of normal user, he/she should view X templates, while Admin can view X and Y Templates.

Is using local templates, anyone regardless of his/her role, could "View Source" and see the Templates used by Admin.

Is there a work around? 

Thanks

Hi Bilal,

you may consider fetching the templates from the server with some sort of an authorization mechanism. However, this would defeat the purpose (and the responsiveness) of the SPA implementation. If you think that your app code may contain sensitive data of some sort, my advice would be to pick a server-side architecture instead.

How do you usually develop SPA when there is such a requirement (allow users to access Template X and other users Template Y)?

In my case, I can load all templates from beginning, but I can limit which data to load based on the role, sounds good?

Hello Bilal,

The SPA architecture concept is not unique to the Kendo UI product offering, so I am not sure if our support service can provide an expert opinion on the subject. I think that you may get more informed opinions on the topic in the general programming community sites like stack overflow or Quora, for example.
