User in group

User in group ( user ; group ) : Boolean

Parameter	Type		Description
user	Text	→	User account name
group	Text	→	Group name
Function result	Boolean	←	TRUE = user is in group FALSE = user is not in group

Description

User in group returns TRUE if user is in group.

Note: This command expects a user account name in the user parameter (it does not support user aliases). If you have defined user aliases in your applicaton, pass the 4D user account parameter to the Current user command to make sure it returns a user account (see example).

Example

The following example searches for specific invoices. If the current user is in the Executive group, he or she is allowed access to forms that display confidential information. If the user is not in the Executive group, a different form is displayed:

 QUERY([Invoices];[Invoices]Retail>100)
 If(User in group(Current user(4D user account);"Executive"))
  //4D user account parameter is necessary if you
  //use 4D user aliases in your application
    FORM SET OUTPUT([Invoices];"Executive Output")
    FORM SET INPUT([Invoices];"Executive Input")
 Else
    FORM SET OUTPUT([Invoices];"Standard Output")
    FORM SET INPUT([Invoices];"Standard Input")
 End if
 MODIFY SELECTION([Invoices];*)
