I want to hide the SharePoint Ribbon Tabs (Browse, Page, etc) on my homepage based on permissions and such that they are stripped/trimmed when hidden

Question

I am trying to hide the SharePoint Ribbon Tabs based on a users permissions. I know that I can use the SPSecurityTrimmedControl to do this but I need to wrap it around just the tabs and not the whole ribbon. The reason for this is because I am trying to 'lighten' the page for the user as I believe that there are some javascript associated with using the tabs and we don't want that to be downloaded with the page if a user doesn't use the tabs.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks and regards,

Answer 1

All you need to do is to follow these steps :)

• Open the master page, find the div tag:
• Put the following around it:

<Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" Permissions="ManageWeb">
<div id="s4-ribbonrow" …</div>
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>

or you can follow this Blog, it shows you three ways of doing it but I guess you dont want to use javascript as once I used it and it broke few things
