The View Mode By Role (VMBR) module allows site administrators to assign
custom view modes for both users and content (nodes) based on user roles.

With this module, you can:

  • Define a default user view mode for each role.
  • Define a default content (node) view mode for each role.
  • Assign weights to roles so that, when a user has multiple roles, the role with the highest priority determines the view mode.
  • Fall back to the standard full view mode when no custom setting is defined.

Key Features

  • Adds configuration fields on each role edit form to select:
    • User View Mode
    • Content View Mode
    • Role Priority Weight
  • Automatically alters entity rendering to apply the configured view mode for logged-in users.
  • Supports Drupal 8, 9, 10, and 11.

Example Use Cases

  • Show different profile layouts for editors vs. subscribers.
  • Display different node layouts (teasers, compact, or custom view modes) depending on whether a visitor is anonymous, a customer, or an administrator.
  • Prioritize roles (e.g., if a user is both “Customer” and “VIP,” ensure the VIP view mode takes precedence).

Requirements

  • None — works with core entity and role system.

Compatibility

  • Works with all entity view modes registered for user and node entities.
  • Fully compatible with Drupal’s role system and multi-role assignments.
