Check Permissions

Import Salesforce permissions from the @salesforce/userPermission and @salesforce/customPermission scoped modules. Customize a component’s behavior based on the permissions of the context user.

To check whether a user has a permission, import a static reference to the permission and evaluate whether it’s true or undefined.

Custom permissions can include a namespace. Orgs use namespaces as unique identifiers for their own customization and packages. If the custom permission was installed from a managed package, prepend the namespace followed by __ to the permission name.

The name of the static reference is your choice. We chose the format has{Permission} to indicate that the reference contains a boolean.

This sample checks whether the current user has the ViewSetup standard permission.

If the user has the permission, the component enables a button.

This sample checks whether the current user has the ViewReport custom permission installed from a managed package with the acme namespace.

If the user has the permission, the component displays the expense-report component .
