Controlling Desk sidebar based on user attributes

I am wanting to control what is in the Desk sidebar (like Settings, etc) based on the current user attributes like their role, or even down to a specific user’s email address. However if I call

useCurrentUser

from inside

sanity.config.ts

I get a nasty warning and I realize that it is because I’m using a hook and it is not inside a React component. My question is where would be the best place to make this call, or is there another “non-hook” way to go about getting the currently logged in user? Thanks for any pointers.

Hi . When you customize your desk structure , there’s the

S

prop as well as a

context

prop. Under

context

is

currentUser

(among other things), which will give you

name

,

roles

,

email

, etc.

Thank you so much. 🎉

Worked like a charm.

Oh yay, I hadn't thought to explore context yet and was looking for something like that last night.
