Content Type Field Visibility - Conditional - User Context - Value

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

I have a field in a content type that I only want to be visible to users within a specific role. This appears to be possible based on the Field Visibility Settings, Conditional, User Context, Roles/RoleNameInClause and/or Roles/RoleName.

I couldn’t find any documentation on the operator I should choose and the proper syntax for the value to test against.

Anyone done this before or know the proper configuration?

Hi,
We’ve done that for a couple of field.
Here is what we did:
In the field visibility properties choose the rule type “Conditional” and in the variable field, select “User Context/Roles/RoleName”.

Hope that help,

Guillaume

I got the Roles/RoleName working with the LIKE operator. I was more curious about Roles/RoleNameInClause.

Roles/RoleNameInClause formats the role list as a string of comma separated names. This can be used in the conditional to, but would be slightly less efficient. It could also be used in a manual WHERE clause in an XML application (which are not generally used anymore.)
