Can (Permission)

Check if a user has a specific permission.

Example

We want to show a link to the control panel if the user has the cp:access permission.

{{ user:can permission="cp:access" }}
    <a href="/cp">Control Panel</a>
{{ /user:can }}

If the user doesn’t have the permission, the content between the tags simply won’t be rendered.

A shorthand syntax is also available, however this only allows checking against a single permission:

{{ can:cp:access }}
    <a href="/cp">Control Panel</a>
{{ /can:cp:access }}

We also support the inverse using {{ user:cant }} tags.

permission\|do string	The permission(s) to check against. You may specify multiple permissions by pipe separating them. eg. `{{ user:can permission="foo" }}` or `{{ user:can do="foo\|bar" }}`
