umbraco-current-user-action

To add custom Umbraco backoffice user menu actions, you generate a currentUserAction manifest and a controller implementing getHref() and execute() per UmbCurrentUserAction. This allows you to add navigation links, execute server-side logic, or open modal dialogs for authenticated users.

Yes, you can apply conditional visibility to Umbraco current user actions. By setting conditions in the currentUserAction manifest, actions appear in the backoffice user menu only when specific permissions or user roles match, keeping the UI clean and secure.

In Umbraco currentUserAction, getHref() returns a URL for navigation, while execute() runs custom server-side action logic. You can also use these methods to open backoffice modal dialogs, providing either direct navigation or interactive workflows for the logged-in user.

To open a modal dialog from the Umbraco user avatar menu, implement a current user action with a controller that triggers a backoffice modal. You need to generate a currentUserAction manifest and use the execute() handler to initiate the modal interaction for richer user workflows.

Yes, TypeScript is required to implement Umbraco current user actions. You must generate a currentUserAction manifest and a TypeScript controller implementing the UmbCurrentUserAction interface methods, including getHref() and execute(), to properly register the extension.

To verify Umbraco extension registry requirements for current user actions, use WebFetch to confirm the latest foundation requirements. This ensures your currentUserAction manifest and controller implementations align with the current Umbraco backoffice extension API standards.
