XF 2.0 Is there any way to specify which user groups can see a widget?

[Sal Collaziano]

Is there any type of permissions system for widgets? I'd like to display a widget on specific pages but only for specific groups...

+1 for this.

@Sal Collaziano you should post this in suggestion so that the devs can take a note if it gets enough likes. XF widget system needs lots of love from XF... like sticky options and so on.

There was a existing suggestion already, https://xenforo.com/community/threads/add-permissions-for-widgets.136384/#post-1187098

Going to cross post this here as it's relevant:

There's two things that can help for right now.

1) Create the widget that you want, but don't assign it to a position. Give it a "widget key" for example "my_widget".
2) Create a new "HTML" widget in the desired position. Check the "Advanced mode" box. In the "Template" field type:

<xf:if is="!$xf.visitor.user_id">
    <xf:widget key="my_widget" />
</xf:if>

That should give you the desired effect.
