I’m using the Tickets plugin and want to show a “Download” button after a user purchases a subscription. The location of the button doesn’t matter — it just needs to appear somewhere for users who are in a specific group. I’m currently using the Custom Header Links component, which successfully displays the Download link, but the component has no built-in option to restrict visibility to a single group. If it’s possible to extend or customize this component to only show a link to members of a specific group, I’d like to know how. If not, I’m open to alternative approaches that achieve the same result.

Thank you I will have a look. Any ideas about users not being able to login? Edit: Had a look. Yes this is what I need, amazing. However it shows on every page, even within the admin interface is there away to restrict that? The plugin outlet it is set to is: before-header-panel
