Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

Is it possible to create two different types of account on an application?

example : email address A can only access to the section A and the email address B can only access the B section.

Each office account connected to the application will only be able to access a single section according to what it has been assigned.

Hi @Anonymous ,
The built-in User().Email will give you the logged in user. You just need a reference list, look this up and navigate to the relevant area depending on the result. If this list was called SectionList with fields UserMail and Section, you would do this at App OnStart
Set(vUserMail,User().Email); Set( vSection, Lookup( SectionList, UserMail=vUserMail, Section ) ); If( vSection="A", Navigate(AScreen), Navigate(BScreen) )

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

before asking you a question I would like to thank you for your quick answer,

Concerning the reference list, how do I create it? I create it as an entity by naming it "SectionList" and I add the UserMail and Section fields to it, is that right?

Yes - you can call it and the fields whatever you want - you just need to reference the names in the code.

Free-typed - now fixed. You need a break between commands and I left some brackets out (mentioned in the post syntax)
Set(vUserMail;User().Email);; Set( vSection; Lookup( SectionList; UserMail=vUserMail; Section ) );; If( vSection="A"; Navigate(Home_docteur); Navigate(Home_patient) )

@WarrenBelz ,

Thanks, now how do I assign an email address to a section (A or B)? And in the "SectionList" entity, am I supposed to add records to the "section" fields example section A & B ?

@Anonymous ,
Yes, you have two fields - one for the email address (UserMail) and the other for the section (Section) you want them to be directed to. That is what the Lookup does.

@WarrenBelz ,

but before being redirected, the email address must be assigned to a section,right ?
there I created a record to test, except that I didn't have access to fill the two fields "email & section" logically if I could have put the email and the section in the fields.

in which case the redirection would have worked, right?

So my question is how do I assign an email address to a section, I'm supposed to do it manually, right?

@Anonymous ,
Yes - you have to create the list of emails and what section they belong to. The Lookup will then compare the user's email with the UserMail field and find the matching Section, which will then trigger the navigation accordingly.
Also is your field name Email or UserMail - you will have to refer to the right name in the code.
