View Select by Role Membership

Hi All - I am trying to do something that sounds simple but can’t get it to work. Also I am aware that some User functions don’t work in views … like @UserName and @UserRoles unless it is Shared-Private after First Use.

Here is what I am trying to do in a view selection with Formula language.

The document has a single value field called “CRoles” that contains either “[Technical]” or “[Non-Technical]” when the document is created.

Users have roles in their ACL that can be either [Technical], [Non-Technical] or both can be checked.

I need to be able to show only those documents in the view

where the field CRoles matches one or both of the actual user roles in the users’ ACL.

I don’t know what I am missting, but can’t get it to work.

Thanks,

Subject: Could you not just use a “Readers”-type field?

I wouldn’t make the existing field a readers-type, but instead create a new readers field which incorporates the current existing field value. I would make it a computed, multi-value field, and add on an additional “administration” role (to which you would belong, so that you could see every document regardless of your role inclusion).

Hope that makes sense!
