Show/Hide based on permissions

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I want to hide a button based on user permission. I thought it would be as simple as setting the Visible property to a formula that evaluates to a boolean. Yet, the formula I am using always returns true. Can anyone help me understand what is happening?

Visible = DataSourceInfo(ECTCR_Tracking, DataSourceInfo.EditPermission)

After that is a set I test the functionality with an account that only has read permissions, yet that button still shows up. Is this a bug?

Hi @Anonymous

What data source are you using?

From the documentaton on DataSourceInfo.EditPermission:
Does the current user have permission to edit records in this data source? If not set by the data source, returns true.
It might be that your data source simply does not returin this parameter and it defaults to true.

SharePoint.

It would be really nice if I could get something like disabling a button based on permission to work.

Example:

DisplayMode = If(DataSourceInfo(ECTCR_Tracking, DataSourceInfo.EditPermission) = true, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)
