Hi Siddharth,

The cleanest way to implement role-based visibility within page snippets in Mendix is to use visibility conditions directly on the UI elements inside the snippet. Mendix allows you to control visibility based on user roles, attributes, or expressions, so you can keep your snippets reusable while tailoring the content per user type.

For role-based control, select the container or element inside the snippet and set the Visibility property to “Based on user role.” Then, simply check the roles that should see that part of the UI. You can also combine this with conditional expressions (e.g., [%CurrentUser%]) if you need more flexibility.

This approach keeps your snippets clean, avoids duplicating pages, and ensures the correct content is shown based on the logged-in user. It works well even when the same snippet is used on multiple pages with different access levels.

Hope it helps!
