Hide links in quicklaunch for special groups

Question

How can I hide links in quicklaunch for special usergroups? For example only administrators should see administration-links. I don't even know, if something like this is possible in a simple way or if I'll have to code a webpart for this.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If this is a link to library or list you can set permissons for it so only people that have those permission can see it - handling permissions or look at target audience - handling target audience. Hope it will help.

Answer 2

maybe following code snippet will help you

         public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
        {
            using (var oWeb = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb)
            {

                SPNavigationNode node = oWeb.Navigation.AddToQuickLaunch(new SPNavigationNode("link", "Lists/yourList/view1.aspx", false), SPQuickLaunchHeading.Lists);
                node.Properties["Audience"] = ";;;;yourGroup";
                node.Update();
             }
        }
