Show toolbar only for certain roles

What's the best way to show the toolbar only to users with certain roles?

Dont know about the best, but the easiest is probably to use diazo rules

I need a permission based solution

You may want to override the toolbar viewlet manager registration or its class:

github.com

plone/plone.app.layout/blob/42187ca1295a88b56a06c3f5577f1f014a820ba8/plone/app/layout/viewlets/configure.zcml#L66


    class="plone.app.viewletmanager.manager.OrderedViewletManager"
    />


<browser:viewletManager
    name="plone.portalheader"
    provides=".interfaces.IPortalHeader"
    permission="zope2.View"
    class="plone.app.viewletmanager.manager.OrderedViewletManager"
    />


<browser:viewletManager
    name="plone.toolbar"
    provides=".interfaces.IToolbar"
    permission="zope2.View"
    class=".toolbar.ToolbarViewletManager"
    />


<browser:viewletManager
    name="plone.abovecontent"
    provides=".interfaces.IAboveContent"
    permission="zope2.View"

The body tag defines all user roles as CSS classes

e.g.
userrole-manager userrole-authenticated userrole-owner

So you could hide the toolbar perhaps based on these classes or their non-existence?

sorry for the late reply...

Different permission on the viewletManager, still leaves the toolbar specific body classes present

Digging deeper...

https://github.com/plone/plone.app.layout/pull/122 allows this now, based on the users role in context

Well, it allows it by subclassing or by patching the global variable. A registry entry would be good to make it easier. Anyway, this can be extended in future.
