Hi Jakob,

Is this usercontrol a for a datatype, dashboard, or is it to be displayed on the front-end?

If it's a Dashboard control, you should be able to restrict it in the /config/Dashboard.config file - check out the existing entries and the <access> node which you can use to deny certain roles.

If it's a datatype, you can't really restrict the datatype from "loading", but in your usercontrol code you can do something to make it invisible or render differently for different users by adding something like this in your Page_Load event:

            if (!umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent().IsAdmin())
            {
                // do something different for non-admins
                // hide a panel?
                pnlWhatever.Visisble = false;
            }

You could also check out something like the Axendo Disabled Properties package to disable certain properties by roles.  Hope this helps...let us know the details if you need more assistance :)
