User in group


User in group ( user ; group ) -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
user	String	User account name
group	String	Group name
Function result	Boolean	TRUE = user is in group FALSE = user is not in group

Description

User in group returns TRUE if user is in group.

Note: This command expects a user account name in the user parameter (it does not support user aliases). If you have defined user aliases in your applicaton, pass the 4D user account parameter to the Current user command to make sure it returns a user account (see example).

Example

The following example searches for specific invoices. If the current user is in the Executive group, he or she is allowed access to forms that display confidential information. If the user is not in the Executive group, a different form is displayed:

 QUERY([Invoices];[Invoices]Retail>100)

 If(User in group(Current user(4D user account);"Executive"))

  //4D user account parameter is necessary if you

  //use 4D user aliases in your application

    FORM SET OUTPUT([Invoices];"Executive Output")

    FORM SET INPUT([Invoices];"Executive Input")

 Else

    FORM SET OUTPUT([Invoices];"Standard Output")

    FORM SET INPUT([Invoices];"Standard Input")

 End if

 MODIFY SELECTION([Invoices];*)
