Here's my new version of User Roles in browser-enabled forms using GetCommonMemberships of the UserProfileService. This one leverages Active Directory security groups and distribution lists:

Nice. Yes, after you got the data all you need is just to apply double eval trick to get concatenated string of group members. Then simple contains() check will give you desired result.

Thanks, everyone for all your help!

I created a new SECTION CONTROL that I pasted the two fields I wanted hidden and just simply used conditional formatting on the SECTION and added rules. It works just like I wanted.

That link explains how to set user information for a drop-down control.

I followed the directions and [I think] I applied the data connection to the section in my form.

What do I do now to make it hide the section?? Use conditional formatting??

Here is the link. No code required which is allowing you to keep form trust level as domain.

THere is a good article how to use that method in InfoPath on the web. Sorry, I don't have time to find it right now. If you wont be able find it in couple hours I'll try to find some time to do that for you.

How do you use that method in InfoPath? Do you post it in notepad and save it as an XML file?

I looked up GetUserCollectionFromGroup here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms772554.aspx

Thanks

I thought user roles weren't supported by InfoPath Forms Services.............................

That's correct they are not supported. But because you have access to the MOSS webservices you could use usergroup.asmx to determine if user is a member of a group.

Although connecting that service is not as straightforward as it would be in userprofile.asmx case. I used GetUserCollectionFromGroup method.

Hi,

Add the two user roles Site administrator and user to the form. Add the conditional formatting to the two fields as if the user's current role is not equal to Site administrator then hide the field.

Can someone tell me the best way to hide two fields that are only viewable to a site administrator and hidden to a user?

I have an "Issue Tracking" form where I don't want users to fill out my "resolution summary" and "date resolved" sections.

Thanks!
