Hello All,

On my find form the colum ‘Betaald_NLE’ should only be viewable by 1 role ‘Boss’
So I made the next function:

Code: Select all

function Betaald_NLE__permissions(&$record)    {       $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();       $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();       $role = $user->val('Role');       if ($role == "Boss")       {          return array('find' => 1);          exit;       }       else       {          return array('find' => 0);          exit;             }    }

But this doesn’t work. Everybody can view and fill in the pull down and find records.

In fields..ini I have:
[Betaald_NLE]
group=Status_info
widget:type = select
vocabulary = Betaald_NLE_Vocabulary
visibility:list = hidden
visibility:browse = hidden

Could somebody please help me?

PolderBoy.

The column permissions don’t currently support fine-grained access on find. An approach that would work is to programmatically override the fields.ini directives for the field in the init() method of the delegate class for that table.

Code: Select all

function init(&$table){     $fld =& $table->getField('Betaald_NLE');     $fld['visibility']['find'] = 0; }
