Check security filter defined in a role

gazpacho

Hi ! I have defined a security filter for a table in a specific role. It sets a filter on Global dimension 1. In certain areas of Navision, I would like to test the value of that security filter so I can use that value in another filter on another table. Is there a way to retrieve, at runtime, the value of a security filter of a role and use this value for other purposes ?

thanks in advance !

Switch to filtergroup 6 - there are the sec. filters set....

Could you please post an example on how to use this ? When I try the following:

customer.filtergroup(6);
temptext := customer.getfilter(global dimension code 2);
message(temptext);
customer.filtergroup(0);

then the temptext string remains empty. What do i do wrong ?

Security filters are set only on form rec. If you want to use them on another variable you must use SETPERMISSIONFILTER.

customer.SETPERMISSIONFILTER;
filtergroup(6);
temptext := customer.getfilter(global dimension code 2);
message(temptext);
filtergroup(0);
