Hide features for non-admin users through plugin

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.

Te sugiero leer la maravillosa serie de artículos sobre complementos de @eviltrout, que comienza aquí:

Después, lee algunos complementos oficiales en la página de GitHub de Discourse.

Luego, revisa algunos complementos en la categoría #customización:plugin y profundiza en su código.

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

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

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.
