Hi everyone,

I'm developing a customplugin however I have a question. Is it possible to give privileges to a user so they can access only this plugin?

It's a little convoluted. This is possible using some of the features provided by security. Specifically "Roles". You can create a new privilege that can be configured for a role (in a space).

But perhaps `dev_tools` plugin be of some guidance. This will add a new "feature" that can be granted access to via Stack Management \> Roles \> Create. Then see `src/plugins/dev_tools/public/plugin.ts` for how the capability is used.
