yii - Yii2 GridView hide column conditionally -

i displaying columns in yii2 gridview widget, 'executive name' 1 of should displayed when supervisor logged in not when executive logged in.

when hard coding visible 0 not displaying follows:

[     'label' => 'executive name',     'attribute' => 'cs.first_name',     'visible' => '0', ], 

but want display conditionally this:

[     'label' => 'executive name',     'attribute' => 'cs.first_name',     'visible' => function ($data) {         if ($data->hc_customersupport->is_supervisor) {             return '1'; // or return true;         } else {             return '0'; // or return false;         }     }, ], 

please tell if approach correct.

yii\grid\datacolumn extended yii\grid\column has visible property. can see docs, accepts boolean values, of course can dynamically calculate passing expression returning boolean value. example rbac:

use yii;  ...  'visible' => yii::$app->user->can('supervisor'), 

passing callable not allowed , doesn't make sense. logically think - why visibility of whole column dependent concrete row (model)?

p.s. should return boolean, not integer or string. expression can reduced this:

return $data->hc_customersupport->is_supervisor; 

but is_supervisor check definetely wrong, should not called (through model). it's better use rbac instead.
