Removing/Customizing visibility of panels based on a user's role

Support
#1

I have an interesting request from my manager, a non-developer, who would like to present a more “friendly” and simpler interface for Editors and Authors.

I have searched for an existing solution, but I don’t believe one has been mentioned to date.

My manager would like me to take out all the “advanced” and confusing parts of a Section/Row/Column and similarly with the individual elements so they don’t distract from its core functionality.

Here is an annotated screenshot that illustrates this well:

And, for an image, this is a lot to handle for a non-technical user:

If there is nothing available, then I have a different request:

How can I enqueue a style sheet into the Cornerstone page editor itself? This way, I can create rules (albeit complicated rules) that can identify and hide panels. The user ID is set (tco-user-X) within the class; not a role, but it’s something. Ideally, you would add something to identify the user’s role either in the HTML or BODY tags.

Thank you,

Noah

There’s parameters but that takes a bit of time setting up for everything. That would still not be role based though. It would be nice to have this capability in Pro.

Thanks @JvP!

I didn’t think this was possible as it is now. However, if there is a role identifer (e.g. tco-role-editor), then I can insert custom CSS to perform the same function (in fact, it may be easier than the long-winded settings).

I would also need a way to add/enqueue CSS to the editor itself. I don’t want to modify the core code, rather having a function to add my own CSS (similar to the front-end and Dashboard in WordPress proper).
