I need to set the showheader property in visualforce page to true or false based on user profile. For all internal salesforce users the showheader property should be set to true and for all external/portal users the showheader should be set to false.

<apex:page standardController="Contact" showHeader="true">
    <apex:detail relatedList="true" inlineedit="TRUE" />
</apex:page>

  • Apparently you can use the attribute rendered on the <apex:page> tag. So you can do something like <apex:page standardController="Contact" showHeader="true" rendered="{!$Profile.Name == 'SomeProfileName'}">

  • From where users navigate to the page, can you write some condition over there?

The showHeader attribute supports normal Visualforce expressions so you can reference Visuaforce globals like $Profile or controller boolean properties.

For example, this will only show the header for SA users:

<apex:page showHeader="{! $Profile.Name == 'System Administrator' }">
Page content
</apex:page>

No need for 2 pages.
