Icon Only Appears for Me, Not Other Users?

Posted on by Fart_Sniffer

I have an image / icon that toggles a variable I have set up to true or false. If that variable is set to false, another image / icon should appear.. and it does for me, but not with any other users.

I have tried changing the code to a single user / email, and this works for myself, but when I change it to another user it does not work for them.

"If (varToggleWorker = false And User().Email = "name@domain.com",true,false)"

I'm not sure where to go from here?

hi @Fart_Sniffer ,
Alternatively, use a collection for the allowed emails and check against that collection:
// OnStart Collect(colAllowedEmails, ["name@domain.com", "name2@domain.com", "name3@domain.com"])
Update the visibility formula:
If( varToggleWorker = false && User().Email in colAllowedEmails, true, false )

Thanks! I haven't worked with collections yet, so this is a great intro to it.

Will give it a shot and get back to you.

It doesn't like "colAllowedEmails" (or "ColAllowedEmails") in the visibility formula.

I did put the bit of code for onstart.

Is there a step I'm missing? I'm new to collections.

hey @Fart_Sniffer

it should work if you seperate your email adresses with || instead of , did you try this?

so something like this:

If (varToggleWorker = false & User().Email = "name@domain.com" || User().Email=xxx@xxx.com,true,false)

Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.

Thanks, I did try coding something like this in the past using those or separators, but had the same issue.

I have reattempted it with your code regardless, but it has come up with an error: "Incompatible Types for Comparison. These types cannot be compared: Boolean, Text."

The code itself enters, and is a logical alternative, but it doesn't resolve the problem which I fear may not be resolved in alterations with this specific bit of code. As I suggested earlier, if I completely forsake having multiple users and just change it to a single user.. it will work for myself, but not anyone else when I switch the email.

I worked out the problem, the emails / UPN are case sensitive!

yes

it can be the case that different data sources/connectors use different approaches some have upper cases some have lower.

in this context its always a good idea to wrap around the Lower() function ;)
