How to show/hide the Edit widget when the user is an editor or a viewer

Good morning,

I am looking for a way to hide the Edit widget in a EB application when the user is a viewer not an editor.

Thanks

@JoseSanchez I don't believe you can do this easily.

However, if they are viewers then the edit widget would be disabled and won't let them make edits.

There is not a mechanism for restricting access at the Widget level, but you can restrict a Page by going to General Settings > Privacy and Security > Page Visibility Restriction.
