Question

Ideas for developing a function to shut down an app

0

Hello devs! I need to develop a solution in Mendix where the need is to have a "button" to turn off certain features in an app and I need your help to know what I can take advantage of Mendix to do this. For example, an e-commerce system will have an admin user who can activate or not a button to allow the login of other users to use the system.

Hi Lucas,

If your looking for features to turn off associates to each user you can something can try to create a Preference entity associate to Account as 1 to 1. Provide there modify changes access to Admin roles where they can turn on / off there features for each resource. Create a boolean for each feature. Before executing any feature check is it allowed for current user by getting current logged in user preferences best to use a sub microflow to return true of false.

If your looking stop users to login there is a default page “Account_Overview” can make any users to InActive using grid button.

Hope this Helps!

I'd probably create a ‘Settings’ entity in which you can store which sections are shut down. This entity could have for instance a boolean attribute AllowLogins. Then you can retrieve that object in certain locations to check whether the setting is enabled.
