I see no info on XPages & access controlled sections

  • I’m web-enabling a pre-existing Notes application, and that contains access controlled sections. Those don’t appear to be translating to XPages, and I don’t appear to be able to find any information on that either here or in the wiki.

  • I assume they don’t work, since so little of Notes does work in a XPage. Also, in this context, access control could be viewed as a “UI” function, since one Form could allow and another deny access, with the same data on both.

  • I would imagine information on this exists somewhere, but before I go to all the trouble to do a custom implementation of access-controlled sections across multiple XPages, I’d like to know for sure that I have to go that far, and I’m not simply missing something.

  • “Custom” implementation could simply be this → ← on a Panel, far as I know. (thanks Paul) If that’s the correct way to go about this I’d appreciate verification.

Thanks for your time…

Subject: Xpages & Controlled sections

I’m fairly new to Xpages so I can’t be sure of this of course, but couldn’t you use panels to accomplish this? You can group together the fields into a panel and the set the properties for each section/panel.

Subject: They’re on panels now…

  • I’ll look into that. Thanks for the idea…

Subject: Worked a treat. Thanks!
