How to add security group/actions without a node?

Hi,

I’d like to know if it’s possible to add security actions to a specific kind but without that kind having a node?

Similar question would be: Own security group in Roles
But the question is a few years back and the answer’s link is broken.

I couldn’t locate the original article. However, I found another article that may describe the same solution: Using roles to regulate access to a specific MIP SDK plugin (how-to)

Hi @Bo_Ellegard_Andersen ,

That does not really look like what I want. An exact example would be the Sensor Plugin but Instead of having sensors as a node under the plugin (Disable or hide) tree and still have it show up in the Roles.

Below is an visual example.

But don’t have it shown under controllers here

The ItemNode governs the icon seen in the Site Navigation tree and Role Settings. I did a quick experiment and for the sample I modified SensorMonitorDefinition.cs, line 99, and added
PlacementHint = PlacementHint.Hidden

Sensor are now gone from the Site Navigation tree but still present in the Role Settings. I guess this quick experiment of mine fits what you want to achieve.

Tested and works perfect!

Thank you very much @Bo_Ellegard_Andersen
