Umbraco Entity Actions

This one wires up custom actions in Umbraco's backoffice context menus for documents, media, and other entities. You'd reach for it when you need secondary operations beyond the standard edit/delete stuff, like custom permission tweaks or specialized workflows. The skill pulls from official Umbraco docs and includes two solid reference examples from the source code around permission manipulation. The base class pattern is clean: extend UmbEntityActionBase, implement execute(), and you're in business. Worth noting it plays nicely with the repository pattern and context API if your action needs data operations or workspace awareness. Straightforward extension point that keeps backoffice customizations consistent with Umbraco's architecture.

Umbraco Entity Actions

What is it?

Entity Actions perform an action on a specific item in Umbraco. They provide a generic extension point for secondary functionality associated with entity types like documents, media, or custom entities. These actions appear in context menus throughout the backoffice and can be controlled by user permissions.
