I have been fighting with this since version 2.1( now on 5.1 build 327). Let me explain in detail below. The first project has end users that log into their own data. The second project has users that log on to a group of data which contains thier data and others in their group ( note there are other groups in this project also) . I had originally wanted to tie the two projects together but my only option for the end users project is to use thier username as groupid in the security permissions area; so I split the projects into two.
Problem with Security area:
Project 1
Users can see and edit their own data ( works fine) group id field in permissions is their username
Project 2
Need users to avoid logging in again first off.
Problem is project 2 has groups of users . I need them to only see data from thier group . Since there is only one option for groupid field in security permissions area ; how can show on the list pages only data belonging to their ex. fldgroupid ( thier group).
Note : there is a third project with multiple admins that add data to project two ; but each admin is invovled with a seperate group. Meaning I have to use Users and see and edit thier own data and permissions groupid field is fldgroup which works fine.
How can I work around this or can this be done in events . I have tried some code for checking specific records on list on load but am not an expert in this area . Any examples of custom events with fields and response.write to's would help. if this is the way to go.
I have noticed other people asking for the capability of more than one group id field in the permissions area . ( see tips and tricks and suggestions forum) but nothing has come out of it.
