DarkLight Override View on Account Page for specific Roles only
I have created TabbedAccount page using visualforce, and I want it to be the default view for some of out Roles. Currently, if I override the View button - the change is across the board, and it hurts the Partner Portal users as they don't have privileges for all the related lists in the TabbedAccout Page. I can think on two optional solutions: 1. simple - allow only specific Roles to get the overriden settings. 2. complicated (but preferable) - update TabbedAccount visualforce code so it will not crash the account page if the user don't have the right privileges (how?).
There's a good example and discussion in the docs at:
http://www.salesforce.com/docs/developer/cookbook/Content/vf_conditional_page.htm
its based on overriding for a specific profile, but can be easily adapted to your requirements.

If you provide an action method on the page element itself, that will invoke a method on the controller before the page is rendered. This method can check the role of the currently logged in user and decide whether to continue with the current page or send the user off to the standard page.
Thank you for the prompt answer.
Can you please elaborate for a newbie, or refer me to the right article about Action method?
Thanks!
