New section not showing

Extending Umbraco and using the API

Umbraco 8
Hi!

I'm trying to add a new section by code but I can't get it to show:
```
public void Compose(Composition composition)
{                         
    composition.Sections().Append<MySection>();                    
}
```
The section:
```
public class MySection : ISection
{
    public string Alias => "mySection";

    public string Name => "My Section";
}
```
The section gets added to the collection but nothing is rendered?

Any ideas why?

Thanks!

Hi Kristoffer,

By default, a new section won't display until you have added it to the list of visible sections for a user group.

If you go to the users' section, click on groups in the top right-hand corner

enter image description here

select administrators

enter image description here

and then add the section to the list,

save and then refresh the browser, the section should appear.

Programmatically.

you can add a section to a user group - (this would be a one off task) - something like :

    private void AddSectionToGroup(string groupAlias, string sectionAlias)
    {
        var group = userService.GetUserGroupByAlias(groupAlias);
        if (group != null)
        {
            if (!group.AllowedSections.Contains(sectionAlias))
            {
                group.AddAllowedSection(sectionAlias);

                try
                {
                    userService.Save(group);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                       // oh dear :( it went wrong
                }
            }
        }
    }
