Hi Marty,
We could add an "actionPreFilter" for "actions" defined in the widgets which
will filter out the buttons based on role.
There are preFilters already implemented for fields in a listView - we need to
follow the same principle. We need to check for this filter where the buttons
are built in the listView (look for "if (listViewData.actions) {" in
listView.js).
Hope this helps!

Subject: RE: Hiding buttons based on role
Not elegant but will work. This is not a one off to a degree. It's for my own
servers but I will have at least 10-20 management server across the country in
different zones but this allows me to "hide" some elements that won't be used
until a more elegant way is created/available.
Thank you for the direction Will.
Regards,
Marty Godsey

If I was doing a one off solution for my own use case with a limited scope, I
would do it he following.
Apply a CSS class to the <body> tag which corresponds to the role. Then I would
use CSS to 'display:none' on the elements you want to turn off by referencing
the body role class (and keep the permissions applied so if they unhide it
won't work).
It is not an elegant solution, but it will work.

now since we have granular rules. A way to "turn off" certain areas of the GUI
and/or ACS functionality.

to be adapted to account for a user's role. I don't think there has been work
