Will this list change frequently? If so, I'd use SharePoint. If not, I'd use an XML file in my InfoPath form. :)

Hi,

I'd have a list of specified "reviewers".

I'm not sure if this list should be kept on SharePoint and have the SharePoint user login compared with a list of reviewers. Or compare the SharePoint login with a predefined list within InfoPath?

Hi, Erik - I went ahead and moved this to General since I don't think you'll need code here. :)

You will have the user's name from the userName() function in InfoPath - is that adequate for what you need to do? What do you need to compare to in order to determine who can review a form?

User login validation

Hello,

My apologies if this is posted in the wrong topic forum.

I've created a form for an initial person to complete.

Another person would then select a link to open and review the completed form as a read-only. However, can I validate the logged in user to SharePoint to determine if they can even click the "review" link?

In case I'm not clear.

Erik logs into the company SharePoint site. He opens the "front page" to a form and wants to select the link to open the form so that he can review it. On load, the "front page" form would validate the logged in user to make sure that he/she has permissions to view and click the link to review the form.

Thank you
