Web redirect depending upon group membership

Need some hopefully minor help.I need to create a way to redirect a web user accessing a particular database depending upon their group access.

Example:

User opens URL to a particular database. The database is set such that anonymous has no access and the user must provide their user name and password.

If the user is a member of “particulargroup”, pass them on into the database.

If the user is not a member of the group, redirect them to another URL.

Purpose is basically to get or allow the user to update user information. Once they have updated their information, they will be directed back to the requested database.

I don’t have any problem creating the code to check group membership etc. Where I have difficulty is how to redirect them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Randy Pearson

Option 1: javascript redirection.

Create a page and use location.replace(‘’). To find the correct URL, use a computed text (with your formula to check the group)

Set the database to be opened using this page (web).

Option 2: Frameset.

Create a frameset with only one frame.

This frame can be a calculated URL.

Set the database to be opened using this frameset (web).

Subject: Thanks for the help! Here’s what I ended up using.

I used the following set as Pass-through text on a form. The computed text was set to look up and compute the URL per user group membership. I honestly have no idea how the meta line actually causes the browser to redirect or open the page, but it works. I gleaned the code from an example in the Sandbox.
