How to set up conditional navigation links in Tooled dashboard?

[mountaindude]

I am using the Toolpad dashboard with app router, works well.

One thing I can't figure out though: How can I make some navigation items visible only to some users, i.e. show them conditionally.
I have a working way to get a user's properties, for example if he/she is an admin or not.
Based on that I'd like to show/hide some of the navigation items, like below.

Any suggestions on how to implement this?

Hi, we have some RBAC features in the backlog but for now you would probably have to use those conditions when generating the navigation. So if a user is an admin you would not include certain items in the navigation definition.

Not sure how easy/feasible that would be in your project.

Thx for quick response.

Conditionally setting up the navigation array was my first thought, but I couldn't get it to work.
It seemed like that part of the code was only executed on startup, rather than each time a user requested a page.
But I might have missed something, will revisit that idea then.

Thx again - and love the ease of use of Toolpad!
