Adjusting controls based on rolls

[acarne]

I'm using open Source Version 4.5.1d (Build 1273) and have set up a role for users who can only see their own records. Is there a way to eliminate the "assigned to" filter from showing up in the modules' list views since it really serves no purpose? If I use the studio to eliminate the "assigned to" control I loose the feature for users who do need the filter.

You cannot selectively remove components based on the user that is logged in, at least not without making customizations directly within the HTML/PHP source files.

5.0 will include functionality along these lines, but I am not sure if it will extend to what you are looking for.

Simply edit the EditView.html files remove the assigned_to_name field (the visable one) and leave only the field:

<input id='assigned_user_id' name='assigned_user_id' type="hidden" value="{ASSIGNED_USER_ID}" />

which is a hidden field. This field is required so you cannot remove it but it is hidden anyway.

so to recap look in the EditView.html and look for lines that look like this:

<td class="dataLabel"><span sugar='slot19'>{APP.LBL_ASSIGNED_TO}</span sugar='slot'></td>
<td class="dataField"><span sugar='slot19b'><input class="sqsEnabled" tabindex="1" autocomplete="off" id="assigned_user_name" name='assigned_user_name' type="text" value="{ASSIGNED_USER_NAME}"><input id='assigned_user_id' name='assigned_user_id' type="hidden" value="{ASSIGNED_USER_ID}" />
<input title="{APP.LBL_SELECT_BUTTON_TITLE}" accessKey="{APP.LBL_SELECT_BUTTON_KEY}" type="button" tabindex='1' class="button" value='{APP.LBL_SELECT_BUTTON_LABEL}' name=btn1
onclick='open_popup("Users", 600, 400, "", true, false, {encoded_users_popup_request_data});' /></span sugar='slot'>
</td>

and remove everything unneeded and you will end up with

<td class="dataLabel">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="dataField"><input id='assigned_user_id' name='assigned_user_id' type="hidden" value="{ASSIGNED_USER_ID}" />
</span sugar='slot'>
</td>

I hope this helps
