How to limit access to the Views pages of the user account?

cn flag

I created Views page with tabs in the users account.

The problem: If I am user 3 and I go to the page of user 56, I have access to the page.

I have searched in the Contextual filters on the Views page and there is no setting to limit this.

How do I limit access to the Views pages of the user account ? The current user must have access to all the pages of his own account, but not to those of other users.

EDIT

Here is a very simple Views page for the user account. How do I display a 403 page if I go to another user page ?

EXAMPLE :

I am the user ID:88 I have access to the page /user/88/demo

I must not have access to /user/69/demo

You can do the following:

  1. In the Contextual filters for the view
  2. Check specify validation criteria
  3. Check Validate the user has access to the User
  4. Under Access operation to check choose edit.

This will limit access to the user themselves, and mods/admins who are able to edit their account.

Other considerations

You can relax those permissions by choosing view for the access operation, however if authenticated or anonymous users have permission to view other users profiles on the site, they will also have access to this view/page. This would appear to be the situation in the original question, so view would not work for the OP. But for other sites where users are not able to access other user's profiles, this could be an option.

Further permissions could be configured by creating a new custom permission (in a module), for example view my custom page, and add that as permission on the access settings for the view. This would add for an additional level of access configuration.

Thanks, I updated my question with an example. If I add a second pop-up filter with your solution, it doesn't work.

I don't understand what that means. What is a second popup filter?

This looks like you have not followed the steps from my example: `specify_validation: false`

I made the wrong export, I updated

In the example. I want a page with the user created content and I want that if the user goes to the same page on another account the page will show a 403 page

Ok. Follow the instructions in my example above.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
