Disable a particular dimension for a particular user group

rashi.kaushik

Hi all,

Is there a way in Axapta by which i can disable a particular dimension(say CostCenter) from all the forms for a particular user group.

Thanx in advance

Yep, you can do that by updating the SysSetupFormRun.init() method to look like below:

    FormDataSource  f;
    FormDataObject  o;
    int             i;
    DictField       df;
    ;

    super();
    SysSecurityFormSetup::loadSecurity(this);

    if (curuserid()=="Admin")
    {
        for (i=1;i<=this.dataSourceCount();i++)
        {
            f   = this.dataSource(i);
            df  = new DictField(f.cursor().TableId,fieldid2ext(fieldname2id(f.cursor().TableId,"Dimension"),2));
            if (df)
            {
                o    = f.object(df.id());
                o.allowEdit(false);
            }
        }
    }

Yet, I didn't researched how you can find if the current user belong to a certain group. If you'd knew that, the code can be used directly for a group rather than for individual users like I did. A hint to research that: MainMenu\Administration\Users\Groups tab , see the code for populating the Selected groups list

To Mugur -

>>Yet, I didn't researched how you can find if the current user belong to >>a certain group

Here is an example -

Let us say you have created a user group under Accounts Receivable -> Parameters. Let us call this group - 'SalesAdmn'

So in your code you can check like this -

select userGroupList where userGroupList.userId == curUserID() &&
         userGroupList.groupId == SalesParameters::find().SalesAdmn;

if (userGroupList) 
        {
                ......
         }

Hope this helps,

Hi Harish,

That's what I was talking about.

Thanks for the solution.
