Umbraco Conditions

What is it?

Extension Conditions enable developers to declare requirements that must be met before an extension becomes available in the backoffice. They function as gatekeeping mechanisms controlling when and where extensions appear based on context like section, workspace, user permissions, or content type. Multiple conditions use AND logic—all must pass for the extension to display.

Reference Example

The Umbraco source includes a working example:
