I have a text box for the Invoice Approver. This is the default value: dd_FirmFileNo.Selected.'Legal Cost Approver'.Value

Base on what is selected in the Firm file no. the Invoice approver value gets updated. This infomation comes from another list.

I like to controls some datacards display mode based on the Invoice Approver. If the Invoice Approver value equals "John Smith"

then displaymode.Edit otherwise, view.

I have also looked at creating a list of users to manage permissions in this similar context. Please provide some suggestions/help with this.

If it should be referencing the user you probably need to do somehting like

Switch(ThisItem.InvoiceApprover=User().FullName,DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.View)

but you should throw a label somewhere and type User. and then try each option stored in your User() information to find the right one to match to your reference column

@TheRobRush sorry some help with this.

I am little confused on how to reference Invoice approver value. Textbox with value = txt_InvoiceApprover
Should be comparing the datacard with this - in that case: InvoiceApprover_DataCard1

Switch(ThisItem.InvoiceApprover=txt_InvoiceApprover.Text,DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.View)
