Model Driven App Business Rules "If current user is.."

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by furgun 33

Hi,

 

how can i refer to the current user in a business rule? I have two fields ("costs" and "accountant") and want to implement a business rule in this form.

If the current user (the user which ist using the app at the moment) equals the value in field "accountant", field "costs" is visible for this user. If the current user is not equal the value in field "accountant", field "costs" is not visible for this user.

 

I know that business rules have an option to make field visible and invisible, but i cannot find a way to refer to the current user. 

 

Thanks!

    Hi @furgun ,

     

    I do not believe this is possible using Business Rules, but it is possible to achieve this using column level security to hide a field based on the user's security role or java script.
