Check if the current user has one or more platform capabilities or user properties.
canUser checks the platform for the given user capabilities, resolving to a value of true if all given capabilities are permissible and false if not.
It takes an argument list of strings representing the capabilities you want to check for and returns a Promise<boolean>.
Type
tecton.sources.canUser(...capabilities: string[]): Promise<boolean>
There are two categories of capabilities that can be checked:
1. Platform Capabilities - Built-in permissions from the platform (e.g., canTransfer, canRDC, canDomesticWire)
2. User Properties - Custom properties configured per user via the Q2_UuxUserProperty database table. These allow FIs and platform administrators to create custom feature flags.
Example
tecton.sources.canUser('eatEggs', 'eatSpam').then(function(isAllowed) {
if (isAllowed) {
// do something
}
});
// returns Promise<boolean>In UUX versions 4.7.1.2+, you can use the listCapabilities helper function to see all capabilities available for the current user by opening the browser console and running:
window.listCapabilities()This returns an object with two arrays:
{
platformCapabilities: [
{ name: 'canTransfer', canUser: true },
{ name: 'canRDC', canUser: false },
// ... all platform capabilities
],
userProperties: [
{ name: 'FeatureGroupCustUser/MyCustomFeature', canUser: true },
{ name: 'Global/PolicyModuleAccess', canUser: true },
// ... all user properties from Q2_UuxUserProperty
]
