Actions

Plone has the idea of configurable actions called portal_actions. Each action defines an id, a title, the required permissions, and a condition that will be checked to decide whether the action will be available for a user. Actions are sorted by categories.

Actions can be used to build user interface elements that adapt to the available actions. Plone's toolbar displays permissible actions like object_tabs (view, edit, folder contents, sharing) and user_actions (login, logout, preferences) for the logged-in user's access.

The available actions for the currently logged in user can be retrieved by calling the @actions endpoint on a specific context. This also works for unauthenticated users.
