My problem is that I have a form with names field. In this field, I select a group. In the same form, I have a button. this button must be visible only If user is in the group. Do you know what formula I must put in hide formula of my button ?

thanks

Add the Group name to the ACL and give it a ROLE. Then use this formula for the button:

!@IsMember(“[Role Name]”; @UserRoles)

Maybe I’m not interpreting Eric’s post correctly but it seems to me that the group the user is selecting is not necessarily a part of the ACL.

If this is the case I would recommend something like:

create a field ‘IsInGroup’ computed for display.

Set button’s ‘hide-when’ formula to hide when IsInGroup = ‘0’

In the ‘IsInGroup’ formula do something like:

targetValue := theNamesField; (this is the name of the field where the user selected the name and/or group)

@IF(targetValue =“”; @return(“0”); “”);

@IF(@Name([cn];targetValue) = @Name([cn];@UserName); @return(“1”); “”);

theMembers := @dbLookup(“”:“”; ; “Groups”; targetVaue; “Members”);

theMembers_1:= @IF(@IsError(theMembers) | theMembers = “”; @return(“0”); @trim(@Unique(theMembers))); (

@IF(@IsMember(@Name([cn];@UserName); @Name([cn];theMembers); @return(“1”); “0”);

maybe @usernameslist is what you are looking for.

Is it possible to compare 2 lists ? Because @UserNameList return list and my field can contain a list of groups ?

Thanks
