Determine user/session when a form initializes

Hi,

Is it possible to get information on the user that "clicked the action button" when a form initializes?

E.g. I have an action button on a folder view which is to initiate a process. I have a form for the initiate process on which the user will select values from drop downs to pass to the workflow.

Is it possible to get access to the session being used in this scenario? I need to determine which of my custom groups the user belongs to to provide additional validation.

Initial attempts with a initializer dql adaptor failed (select user_name from dm_user where user_name = USER).

Is there away to do this without coding an adaptor?

Thanks

Hoo

Hello Hoo!

Described scenario is possible. We just need to find out what you are doing wrong. Please, describe your step more detail and what exactly do mean under "adaptor failed"?

Please, note that adaptor in this case must be DataSource, SBO and its output type must be defined correctly, for example:

<Output_Type_name>

<Group_name>

user_name

Hi Konstantin,

I did get this working. Not sure why the original didnt work but I deleted the adapator and recreated as before with same DQL and its fine.

The dql uses the keyword USER to get the current session owner, and the adaptor is set to be Executed when form initializes on the Special Tab.

Thanks
