Great suggestion. That worked. But I'd still like to know how to do this on the client side.

Importance: Low

How about using BPM for RMADisp.Update to see if Date04 changed, and if so, raise error unless you are in security group XYZ?

Thanks Tony, but if I recall correctly, Vantage field-level security doesn't let me set the field (RMAHead.Date04) to be read-only vs. read-write. I don't want to hide the field from folks, just make it so that only authorized users can change it.

Basically I'm trying to setup an approval process. We don't want to use Vantage's built-in RMA disposition process because of accounting issues (it puts customer-owned parts on our books which we don't want), so we're rolling our own.

So what I'm looking to do is have field on a custom tab on the RMA form pointing at RMAHead.Date04 that only users in the "GM" group can modify, and everyone else can view.

Brian,
Not 100% clear from what you're wanting to do, but if the field ties right in to a table field there's a very easy way:
Go to Field Security in Security maintenance, open the table, select the field, and click 'New'.
Now you can set permissions to a particular group.
Also, if you want to remove the setting, it feels wrong, but highlight the field on left side and Delete it. All you're doing is deleting that there's security on it, putting it back to Everyone can see it.

Subject: [Vantage] Disabling a Field Based on User Group Membership


I want to disable a field on a customization on a form (on a new tab,
if that matters) unless the user is a member of a particular Vantage
security group.

I'm assuming that what I should do is set the field's Enabled property
to false, and then add some code to the form's OnLoad event to set the
Enabled property of the control to true if the user is in the "GM" group
in this case.

Does anyone have a detailed enough example that I can hack into
usability?

I just tried this and the field-security disabled the field (I wasn't in the GM group), but didn't hide the data. I thought for some reason that field-level security disabled *all* access to a field, not just making it read-only. However I was logged in as a security manager.

When I logged in as a non-security manager, the field was disabled and I couldn't see the data.

So field-level security basically completely hides the field.
