In BOB I try to accomplish this via wikitext alone which works fine since I’m the only one that understands TiddlyWiki. I have a hard-coded data-tiddler with usernames, passwords, and levels. This is obviously not secure at all, but good enough for team purposes. Admin is easy, Guest is relatively easy as it’s all just adding <$list> widgets around all of my buttons etc. Member is a bit tougher, and I end up having to hide the edit button globally, and then contiditionally show another one near the top for admins. Clunky, but it works.

You may be able to handle this with “startup actions” and $:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/ tiddlers. If you add the name of a button to the configuration, and set the text to “show” or “hide” you can define the behaviour of the button. Also see: TiddlyWiki — a non-linear personal web notebook … BUT be aware that it says: “reveal” which is wrong. It is show / hide …

PR is at GitHub already

Great tip @pmario, thanks for sharing that!

I didn’t test this, but it should be worth a test.
