Drupal Private Shortcut illustration

This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

Shortcuts per user for your Drupal site. This module allows users to have their own private shortcut set. It extends the core shortcut module by providing a dynamically created shortcut set for each user that is never saved nor added to the exported configuration.

Shortcuts per user

The private shortcut set replaces the default shared set, so new user accounts will initially get its own empty set.

Users own shortcuts are never visible for any user rather than their owner, even those with administrative permissions cannot view or edit them.

When a user account is deleted, all its private shortcuts are removed. Private shortcuts are also purged on module uninstallation.

It works well regardless of the amount of user accounts present on the site.

The Private Shortcut module can be installed along with other shortcut related modules. User with the appropriate permissions can switch between their own private set or any of the available shared sets as usual. Since #3262778: Use private set as default only when the user is able to customize it, only users able to customize shortcut links will get their private set by default.

  • Shortcut per Role

    Allows a shortcut set to be assigned per role. The assigned shortcut set is still shared by all users belonging to the same role while Private Shortcut provides a private set for having shortcuts per user.

    They can be installed together, but both modules manage the default shortcut set, so only one of them actually takes effect according to the user permissions.
