NAB App Security

I have a Grid Edit app that I want to make view-only for a specific user group. I see the example for using a Startup program, but how do I refer a group rather than a specific user?

Thanks,

Hi Behyar -

The EXNABSTART template program provides you with the "gUserId" variable (the unique user id) and this can be used passed to vvSecure_isMember to determine if that user is a member of a specific group.

// MY_GROUP_ID contains the unique group id that you want to check for....
//   VVGROUPS contains this information in case you need to retrieve the group id...
//
exec sql select vvGrpId into: MY_GROUP_ID from vvGroups
              where vvGrpName = 'SOME_GROUP_NAME';
if not (vvSecure_isMember(MY_GROUP_ID:gUserId){
  disableFeature('SOME_FEATURE');
}
