Display Field Based on User

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I successfully managed to filter the browser gallery by logged on user with this community's help using the follow.

 SortByColumns(Filter('Training Check List',Office365Users.MyProfile().DisplayName=Officer.DisplayName),"Title",If(SortDescending1,Descending,Ascending))

How can I do a conditional format on a "Card" or "Field" to hide it? I have 4 or 5 supervisors that will be creating an item that need access to a certain field, but everyone else should not see it or at the very least make it read only. Is that possible.

Could you explain a bit more of the scenario when you want to hide what?

I have it setup so the number of people will equal how many sign up spots there are. What I do not want is for people to be able to change the number of people. The only people that should be able to change this is the supervisor.

Hi @Anonymous,

Yes, this could be done.

You could change the Visible property of the corresponding DataCard with the code below:

If(User().FullName="UserFulName",true, false)

Or in the following format:

If(User().FullName in ["User Name 1", "User Name 2",....],true, false)

The code would check if the UserName matches the one specified, or within the User Name table, if yes, show the DataCard, otherwise, this data card would be invisible.

By the way, you should also replace

User().FullName

with

Office365Users.MyProfile().DisplayName

Regards,

Michael

Another method would be to use the "DisplayMode" property. If you use "DisplayMode.Edit", the user can view and update the field. If you use "DisplayMode.View", the user can only view the field and it will not appear grayed out. If you use "DisplayMode.Disabled", the field will not be able to updated and will appear grayed out.

Example: If(UserName = "Supervisor Name", DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.View)

Hi, Can someone provide me the syntax for how i can pass in the Username with Created By value of the list item?
My scenario is to show the field only to the Manager of the person who created the list item.

I worked it out.

I have a field called Person, in that field is User().Fullname, to auto populate the persons name who is using the app.
This data is actually text. So to hide the trash can icon, its Visible attribute needs to be:
If(PersonDataCard.Text=User().FullName, true)
The trash can is only visible and enabled for deleting your own records.
I hope this helps others, I should have known better, it was text the whole time!!
