Security on Button running a script

[mcelliers]

Hi All. I am using a Button running a C# Script Event doing a Specific Task.
The Button/Script Should only be controlled by a Specific Group of users.

Currently I am using the following command to determine if the user is in the group to execute the code. If the user is no part of the group the code exits.

sCurrentGroup = VIZNET.UI.Runtime.ObjectManager.GetInstance().CurrentUserGroup;

My problem is that users can belong to more than one group ( i.e all users are part of the users group) The above code only returns one group name. So it could be that the above code does not return the required group-name that I use to determine if the user has the rights to execute the rest of the code.

Is there an easier way to block button events( scripting) from executing according to the logged in user?

You should simply disable that button for any other group that You don’t want to execute.

1. Make Your button property enabled to false by default, so by default no one can click it.
2. Change the property of button called “security on form on form” to true
3. In properties of form itself find property (Security). Click the … icon and there You will see Your button security settings. Simple pick the privileged group and after selecting it, change the property enabled to true.
4. You can repeat that with any control which is on form.

This way button will be enabled only to selected group.

Hi Damiand. Thank you!
I completely forgot about the form security property in SmartUI. I see that I had to remove the allowed users (which formed part of a group) because they were in conflict with the allowed groups that I used on the form security.
