Two possible ways...do a dump of users and roles in JSON to the page in which the JScript is running
OR use some ajax to talk to the back end and return a result. IMHO the easiest is dump a JSOn string of users and their roles to the page and read from there.

How would one acheive this? The custom Javascript is in a style.js for /themes/Sugar/js and it is in one of the functions used there.

For anyone tha is interested what I've done is the following.

In my other Thread here I modified the theme _headerModuleList.tpl - I am passing a Bool value to this which is the gotten in the SugarView.php file. THis bool value is true is a user is a member of the Role in Quesiton. So then in the Smarty template I included this bool in the sugar_theme_gm_switch function and modified the style.js for the theme. So now when a user that is a memeber of a certain role changing the Grouped Tab the pages reloads and it get the new &max_tabs variable.


Quick question, can this style.js be put into the Custom Directory for themes?
