Hi,
I have a requirement in which, i have to hide a Outline entry from a group.I know this can be done by adding the group in the ACL and then assigninig that group to a ROLE and than hide the entry from the Role.
But i don’t want to add that group to ACL.
So is there any way of doing it.
Thanks

You could add some LS code to check if the current user is member of a certain group (search via the NAB) and based on the result hide the entry.
The checking of the group is done upon opening of the database and results in setting a profile-field or environment-variable, which is tested in the hide-when of the outline-entry.

@UserNamesList will return a list of all user names, group names and user roles, so no need for LotusScript.
Still it is considered best practice to NOT use group names in hide-when formulas or security features. Group names might change and you’d have to update the design of your whole application and/or Reader and Author fields, which might turn out troublesome. If you had assigned a role to a group, all you had to do was to assign the same old role to a new group name.
Occasionally, it might not be possible to follow this approach though, e.g. if architecture demands a great number of groups. In this case, @UserNamesList should be your best bet.
