Hide a button based upon users in a field

Hello

How can i hide an action button based upon members of a field already contained within a field on the form? So that only members of that field can see the button and no-one else can including the author of the form.

Many thanks for any help.

You pretty much answered your own question.

If this is on the form then just have in the hide when formula

@IsNotMember( @Name([Abbreviated]; @UserName); @Name([Abbreviated]; YourFieldName) )

You can do the samething on a view, but you need to turn on the option to calculate upon document change.

Try placing this in the Hide when formula of the button.

@If( @IsMember( @UserName ; fldWithNames) ; @False ; @True)

Make sure the list of names in the field have the same format as @UserName, otherwise you need to format them, i.e. using the [CN] attribute.

You could also use @Contains which doesn’t require an exact match for the entire name but performance is better using @IsMember.
