tldr: I would like to hide certain features in the page & api backend for non-admin users. For example, I would like to show the list of liked users only for admin users and not for everyone. The count can be seen by everyone but not the list of users. Of course this is just an example for my specific need. I am sure this feature will not enter in the core but how could I implement this as a plugin ? I would be interested to know about the api overrides (especially) & UI overrides through plugins.

I suggest reading the wonderful series on plugins by @eviltrout, it starts here: [image] Developing Discourse Plugins - Part 1 - Create a basic plugin Developer Guides Building a plugin in Discourse can be really simple, once you learn a couple of quirks. The goal of this post is to create a skeleton plugin and introduce you to the basics. Your development environment Make sure you have a development environment of Discourse running on your computer. I recommend you use the appropriate setup guide and come back when you’re done. plugin.rb tada Use GitHub - discourse/discourse-plugin-skeleton: Template for Discourse plugins · GitHub to create a complete di… After read some official plugins on Discourse github page. Then go trough some plugins on the #plugin category and dig trough their codebase.

Thanks @Falco.. Just want to quickly check if plugins can be used to control features in API as well ?

Though I think this is simply overriding a widget, which shouldn’t be too bad to do.

Yeah, but if he wants to block this trough API too, it’s more works because the post_actions is used for more stuff. Doable, but a little more work.

You can monkeypatch classes so yes. Some stuff is easier than others, tough.
