What are the supported and unsupported EL expressions?
Use EL expressions to control the visibility of navigation entries such as groups, page entries, and quick actions, as well as infolets and announcements on the UI. You can tailor the visibility based on user roles. For example, you can use EL expressions to show or hide a group or page entry on the Navigator or product map. The evaluation of the EL expression decides whether these entries are displayed for users with specific roles.
- Don't include line breaks or double quotes in EL expressions.
- Don't copy EL expressions from Word into the expression editor, as hidden characters might cause errors. Use a text editor or type them manually instead.
- If you have custom menu entries in your environment that use an EL expression that checks for specific roles to access the custom menu, then the access might be limited to those menu entries. To access other custom menu entries, create a custom role with the necessary privileges using Security Console, and assign to the user.
