Jhipster: hide entities from non-admin

Question

Greetings java hipsters!

I just generated a jhipster project and created some entities. I'd like to hide some entities by restricting them to only the admin user. How do I achieve this ?

Thanks!

First read Spring Security doc then look at your project source code that was generated by JHipster: it's full of such examples, pay attention to:

• SecurityConfiguration.java
• @Secured(AuthoritiesConstants.ADMIN) in UserResource.java

Then for the angular part, you can add a requirement for admin role in a state's definition like in src/main/webapp/app/admin/configuration/configuration.state.js (search for authorities: ['ROLE_ADMIN']). So for a bank-account entity, main state would be defined in src/main/webapp/app/entities/bank-account/bank-account.state.js.

This is for JHipster 3.x
