It is.

If only single blueprints are affected, it is also possible to do this on a per blueprint basis in a plugin.

Then in my plugin: \<?php if(($user = kirby()-\>user()) && $user-\>role()-\>name() == 'client') { $dir = \_\_DIR\_\_. '/blueprints/client/home.yml'; } else { $dir = \_\_DIR\_\_ . '/blueprints/home.yml'; } Kirby::plugin('texnixe/permissions', ['blueprints' =\> ['pages/home' =\> $dir] ]); And the structure of my plugins folder: [53]

Page models that override the `isReadable()` method are another option:

```auto
class NotePage extends Page
{
  
    public function isReadable(): bool
    {
        static $readable = [];

        $template = $this->intendedTemplate()->name();

        if (isset($readable[$template]) === true) {
            return $readable[$template];
        }
        if ($this->author()->toUser() === kirby()->user() || kirby()->user()->role()->name() === 'admin') {
            return true;
        }
        return false;

    }
}

```
