I’m working on a plugin that needs to add stuff to the user serializer. It’s working! :tada: But I need to add it to the user serializer only for staff and the current user. But . . . backing up, perhaps, I really need this information only on the user profile page, so perhaps I need to put it somewhere else? add_to_serializer(:user, :manager_status) { # TODO: include only for current user and staff return object.manager_status } I’m currently displaying this on the user profile page. I’d like to know how to create a separate profile page with just this stuff on it. Links to something doing that would be great.

[image] pfaffman: I’d like to know how to create a separate profile page with just this stuff on it. You’d have to create a new route and make sure it’s guarded against anyone but staff and the current user from seeing it. Probably a lot more complex than serializing it where you are. [image] pfaffman: But I need to add it to the user serializer only for staff and the current user. I’m thinking you can do this via something like so: add_to_serializer(:user, :manager_status) { return object.manager_status if object.admin || object.staff } Off the top of my head you may have to do a dance to pull in the current user object and check for a match.

[image] justin: Off the top of my head you may have to do a dance to pull in the current user object and check for a match. yeah. I can’t figure out how to get the current user. I think what you have will add it if the user (but not the current user) is an admin.

You could try an additional serializer call like this: plugin.rb 22bdd11e1 # name: discourse-intercom # about: Integration features between Intercom and Discourse # version: 0.1 # author: Vinoth Kannan enabled_site_setting :intercom_enabled after_initialize do add_to_serializer(:current_user, :email) do object.email end add_to_serializer(:current_user, :intercom_hash) do OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest( 'sha256', SiteSetting.intercom_secret_key, object.email ) end I haven’t tested this so you’ll want to make sure it’s secured as you need.

@pfaffman Did you find a solution for this? Thanks!

This seem to be the droids i was looking for :slight_smile: add_to_serializer(:post, :user_xxx, false) { #object.user.custom_fields['xxx'] if object.user && scope.is_admin? #object.user.custom_fields['xxx'] if object.user && scope.is_moderator? # Staff will allow for Admins and Moderators object.user.custom_fields['xxx'] if object.user && scope.is_staff? }

I don’t remember, but I think the above should work.
