Yes, there is a way to create conditional visibility on specific menu items in Webflow based on user access groups. This can be achieved by using dynamic lists and custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Create user access groups: Before you can set up conditional visibility, you need to create user access groups in Webflow. Go to the Project Settings and click on the "Users & Roles" tab. Here, you can create different user access groups and assign users to them.
Set up dynamic list: In your Webflow project, create a dynamic list that contains the menu items you want to conditionally show or hide. To do this, add a collection list element and connect it to a collection that contains the menu items. Make sure the collection has a field that indicates the user access group.
Add custom code: Once the dynamic list is set up, you can use custom code to control the visibility of each menu item based on the user's access group. Inside the dynamic list, select the menu item and open the settings panel. Under the "Visibility" section, choose the "Hide" option. Then, click on the "+" button and choose the "Add Field" option. Select the field that indicates the user access group and set the condition for when the menu item should be visible. You can use JavaScript code snippets to check if the user belongs to the specific access group.
Preview and publish: Save the changes and preview your website to see the conditional visibility in action. Make sure to test it with different user accounts assigned to different access groups. If everything looks good, publish your website to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can create conditional visibility on specific menu items in Webflow based on user access groups. This allows you to create personalized experiences for different types of users, enhancing the overall usability and relevance of your website.
