I'm working on implementing security for my RCP application.
I need to be able to remove UI Contributions that user does not have permissions for.
This includes
-Views and editors
-Perspectives
-Preference and property pages
-Menus and toolbars
Initially I thought that the Activities would be the best way to implement this functionality. The only problem is that it looks like user can enable activities by opening the Workbench>Capabilities preference page.
My questions are:
1. Am I on the right track with using Activities or there is a better way to implement hiding UI contributions?
2. What is the best way to prevent users from enabling Activities?
Thanks.
Dimitry.

The other problem that I found is that if a user had saved worspace with a view or perspective opened and the permissions to access this view are revoked. Next time they open the application, the view is displayed even though the Activity is disabled.(The activity gets enabled automatically)
Is there a place where I could maybe throw an exception to prevent Activity from being enabled?
Thanks.
Dimitry.

Dmitry, could you please file this as an enhancement request against
Platform UI, providing as much detail about your scenario as possible?

No, there is currently no way to veto an activities enablement. You
could attach a listener to the activity manager and when you detect the
activity being enabled you could simply turn it off. You may get some
flicker of action bars and menus in this case, however.
