Re: SP2010 - showing/hiding form fields based on users' list group membership

Hi Patrick!
Thanks for the reply but I can't seem to get worked out.
As per previous description, the list items have their own permissions:
Site_Owners - group Site Owners
Admins item - groups Admins and Site Owners
Contributers item - Contributers and Site Owners

I am in: Site Owners group, so basically I'm on all the list items.

On the admin button I have 1 rule that reads:
conditions Groupname is not equal to Site Owners OR groupname is not equal to Admins, Hide this control
On the contribute button I have 1 rule that reads:
condition Groupname is not equal to Contributers, Hide this control

If I check the form, I still do not see the button(s).

What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you just need more permission groups for the case where they are not in Contributors or Admins or when they are a Site Owner. This is not hard. You will need to make sure your formatting rules run from most exclusive condition to least exclusive.

Good luck!

SP2010 - showing/hiding form fields based on users' list group membership

Hi all!

I have a somewhat complicated situation with which I need some help. Problem: Certain fields in a (list) form need to be hidden when the user is not an Admin. I am using SP2010.

Setup:

I have 2 permission groups:
a) Contributers
b) Admins

Then I have a list called Permission_Groups with 1 column:
a) Group Name

The column holds 2 entries:
a) Contributers
b) Admins

Then I have the list with the actual items (itemlist) and the (standard) form. The form has been modified in InfoPath. sections have a formatting rule with condition Group name is not equal to Admins and formatting option hidden I also added 2 buttons with the same rule as above.

This works great EXCEPT when a user is:
a) in none of the lists and not other rights (itemlist doesn't display at all)
b) in none of the list but does have contribute rights on the itemlist (all fields and both buttons display)
c) in both lists (Same as contributer (admin fields are hidden) and no buttons)
d) a site owner (Same as contributer (admin fields are hidden) and no buttons)
*For siteowners it doesn't matter if they are in Both, one or none of the lists.

In principle, everyone should be able to contribute, so that is easy to fix (add eveyone to the contributers list). ~~The admins is not a problem either, again, just add them to the admin list.~~

edit
There is one more problem though: adding everybody to the contributers list is done by addign NT AUTHORITY. This includes people who are admins. This meand that admins would be in both lists.

The problem rest in the Admin-section when the people are also the siteowner(s).

I hope this is clear and that someone can help me out with this.

Kind regards and thanks in advanced!
