Hi, is there a way to allow users members of group X see that entity in the catalog??

I don’t want to give access to all groups but only to the ones the user are part of.

One option is https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/rbac/plugins/rbac-backend/README.md

GitHub

And you could pass permissions in via a CSV

#

This integrates well with permissions for catalog, scaffolder and permissions themselves

This is clear, not sure how it should help the plugin vs the native? Also thing that can’t be handled manually

Oh, I see what you mean… you can definitely use the outback plug-in but you’re also need to create a custom permissions policy for the specific entity and how you want to restrict the permissions based on owner or whatever.

#

I recommend going down this rabbit hole
