I think you can go to the All Properties panel on the view column, go to Basics > displayAs and click the diamond and add your code to check for membership in a role and depending on the results return "link" or "text"

 

I've done something similar with whether or not to show checkboxes for a column, based on a user's role

 There's something wrong with my code :

 

var v:Array = database.queryAccessRoles(session.getEffectiveUserName());

if (@IsMember("[role1]", v)){

    return link;

}else{

    return text;

}

 

 

You should probably return a string:

 

return "link"
or
return "text"

 

 

By the way, instead of using the queryAccessRoles function, you can also use

 

 

A one-line version of your statement could then be:

return ( context.getUser().getRoles().contains( "[role1]" ) ? "link" : "text");
