Now I want implement security in such a way that certain rows will only be displayed for a particular user role. eg. One column in the reapeating table is Organization. I want to map the users with organization from infopath. Any user belong to one user role should be able to see only rows/organizations belong to that user role.Any help is appreciated.Thanks & RegardsJoseph 12-05-2007 09:40 AM In reply to Greg Collins Joined on 08-07-2006 Posts 2,126 Re: user role security Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer...
