Editor - Switch off New / Delete / Edit buttons / display only functionality - can it be done ?

supportNE

Hi

I have a situation where some users aren't allowed to add new rows / edit rows, but are allowed to view the existing rows. Is there an easy way within Editor that I can switch off the New / Edit / Delete buttons, and allow display only, e.g. an editor table with no edit function ?

Many thanks.

Editor doesn't control the buttons. You can use Buttons APIs like button().disable() or button().remove(). Here is an example of adding/removing buttons dynamically:
https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/api/addRemove.html

Or you can conditionally create the buttons array using a Javascript variable before initialization and use that variable. Something like:

var buttons = [...];

$('#myTable').DatatTable({
  buttons: buttons
});
