I am wanting to use roles for some basic hiding of controls on the form.
I can easily use a distribution list which is manually maintained. However as this company is a multinational, all the of the really useful distribution lists are dynamic, based mainly on their buiness unit number held in active directory.
In infopath if I try to use one of these lists to determine a users location it just seems to ignore it as it hold no direct link to the und user.
I can quite easily determine the country a person is in, or their operation, but I can't see a way to use this information to change a persons role. I could put in loads of conditional formatting based on this, but that would end up being messy with a lot of duplication and possibility for error.
a) Does infopath really not handle this lists to determine a users role?
b) If it doesn't what would you suggest as an alternative.
