The following example assigns a specific role to a widget (the widget will be usable by users belonging to the given role).

 

private bool AddWidgetToRole()
{

  // Get role, widget and permission object
  RoleInfo role = RoleInfoProvider.GetRoleInfo("CMSDeskAdmin", CMSContext.CurrentSiteID);
  WidgetInfo widget = WidgetInfoProvider.GetWidgetInfo("MyNewWidget");
  PermissionNameInfo permission = PermissionNameInfoProvider.GetPermissionNameInfo("AllowedFor", "Widgets", null);

 
    // If all exist
    if ((role != null) && (widget != null) && (permission != null))
    {

      // Add role to widget
      WidgetRoleInfoProvider.AddRoleToWidget(role.RoleID, widget.WidgetID, permission.PermissionId);

            
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}

 

The following example removes the relationship between a specific role and a widget.

 

private bool RemoveWidgetFromRole()
{

  // Get role, widget and permission object
  RoleInfo role = RoleInfoProvider.GetRoleInfo("CMSDeskAdmin", CMSContext.CurrentSiteID);
  WidgetInfo widget = WidgetInfoProvider.GetWidgetInfo("MyNewWidget");
  PermissionNameInfo permission = PermissionNameInfoProvider.GetPermissionNameInfo("AllowedFor", "Widgets", null);

 
    // If all exist
    if ((role != null) && (widget != null) && (permission != null))
    {

      // Remove role from widget
      WidgetRoleInfoProvider.RemoveRoleFromWidget(role.RoleID, widget.WidgetID, permission.PermissionId);

 
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}

 

The following example sets the security level for a widget (allows it to be used by all authenticated users).

 

private bool SetSecurityLevel()
{
    // Get widget object
    WidgetInfo widget = WidgetInfoProvider.GetWidgetInfo("MyNewWidget");
        
    // If widget exists
    if (widget != null)
    {
        // Set security access type
        widget.AllowedFor = SecurityAccessEnum.AuthenticatedUsers;
 
        WidgetInfoProvider.SetWidgetInfo(widget);
 
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}
