Set DisplayMode to Edit only if user has security role to update

I have a combo box. If the current user does not have a security role to update the table linked to the combo box, is there a good way to set the combobox to displaymode.view ?

I was thinking I could run a Patch command on the table when the screen onVisible, and ifError then set a flag and set displaymode.View? Not sure if I can patch without really updating the table as this is only to test if it works.

Or I could check to see if the user is in one of the securityRoles that has access, but these can change (I may need to add new security roles later).

Any thoughts are appreciated

Thanks

Dave

Hi @Testy123 ,
You can use a If statement inside the property "DisplayMode" for the combobox control.
Here it some example:
If(Lookup(TableRole, User = User().ID).NameofRole = "Admin", Displaymode.Edit, DisplayMode.View)

Hello,

I think you can leverage the DataSourceInfo formula: DataSourceInfo function !
