How to add custom actions to sharepoint that are visible only to a specific group

Question

I want to create a custom action in C # code for a sharepoint list.

I use the SPUserCustomAction type, and I need to display this element only for certain users (the user is represented in a specific group)

The location is set to "Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu";

How can I indicate in the code that only a few users belonging to my group can see this menu item? Any links?

Thanks.

Rights attribute is your friend. Here you can set what rights are required for your user actions to be displayed as follows:

 Rights = "ViewListItems" 

The rights are based on the SPBasePermission enumeration, which you can find here .
