Restricting fields on a DCT

MarkWh

Hi,

I can see how I can restrict access to a whole DCT based on role etc, but is it possible to restrict certain fields to a given role? If so can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Mark

Inside the datacapture.cfg file, you can use the <allowed> element to restrict access to a specific field based on either userid or role - I'm pretty sure this is covered in the manual.

Is it possible to have role based restriction on values of a field? I mean i have a drop down in which i have five values say

<select>
<option value="one" label="one"/>
<option value="two" label="two"/>
<option value="three" label="three"/>
<option value="four" label="four"/>
<option value="five" label="five"/>
</select>

so is it possible that editor can see options (one, two, three and four) and author can see (one and two). These values are not hardcore as they come from ipl file.

Hi Sachin

I assume you are saying that your ipl is called via an inline in your DCT. If so, then your ipl script will inherit the environment variable IW_ROLE that contains the role of the current user.

You could use this in conjunction with your appropriate business logic to return a subset of the options.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Michael for the quick reply. yeah ipl is called via an inline script in my DCT. I wonder if there is some way to get the "groupname" of the current user and put group based restriction on the values of dropdown and I have one more DCT in which i want to populate the drop down with the name of all the groups reside in teamsite server. so can it be done

After searching in forum i came to know about perdoc Win32API::Net and perldoc Win32::NetAdmin. But I cudnt find these modules any where. Though there is an example on https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=50247 on Win32API:Net but I think its not sufficent. so can anybody tell me the link to find more details on these docs.

Are you sure you're running IWHOME/iw-perl/bin/perldoc ?
It's possible you have another version of perl installed somewhere (or IWHOME/iw-perl/bin isn't on your PATH?) and thus can't find the documentation for those modules.

Failing that try Win32::NetAdmin and Win32API::Net
