How to disable a perspective [message #448785]

My application wants to give users credential based access, i.e. for
certain user with less privileges, I want certain perspective to be
disabled.

Any idea how to do this?

hi mohit

as par my knowledge there is no way to disable the whole perspective.

but you can do it by disable every or some of fields on that perspective according to the access rights.

Define the separate perspectives in different plugins. Then, in the plugin's start() method (for the bundle context) throw an exception if the credentials aren't valid. This will stop the plugin from starting, and with it, the perspective/actions contained from being presented. (They will still show up in the list, though; they just won't be able to select it.)

See the eclipse JAAS project on sourceforge for more.
