My apologies, that is is fairly simple from a customization perspective, but while I’ve messed with Epicor and light customization’s for 10 years, I’m getting in deeper and I’m lost.
The Objective: To hide the Sales Order Entry header & Line Sales Rep panels when the current user does not belong to a certain user group. We recently put a few BPMs in place that determines the Sales Rep Commission Rate, but we don’t want the order entry person or a few other to see these values.
I really thought is would be pretty easy, so from past experience and some posts here I have got the following to compile, which only attempts to hide the panel:
However, it does’t work, no error, the panel just doesn’t hide.
I can hide it ‘manually’ with the control property, but that wouldn’t be dynamic per the user’s user group.
My next hurdle will be figuring out if the user belongs to the allowed user groups and to control the visibility.
Since we have a BPM in place that is setting values on the panel I didn’t think disabling the panel would work, but I thought this might.
If anyone has already done this and willing to share your code, that would make this easier.
I’ve been able to do this on some forms, not on others. Over the years, I’ve found that you can often copy/paste sample code from one form to another and it doesn’t work - always figured it was some issue in Epicor. Anyway, if hiding the tabs doesn’t work, you can always hide the group boxes on the tab. It’s a blank tab, doesn’t look as pretty as hiding the tab - but does the job.
You’ve probably already considered this, but one other option would be to create two different customizations (one with the desired content hidden and one displayed). Then put them both on the menu with different security group settings depending on which customization it is. I’m assuming a majority of future changes on either of these customizations would have to be duplicated on the other though to keep them both up to date on what they’re supposed to do.
Sorry, I didn’t have a chance to test it out til now.
Thanks for this, it will work nicely. Still kinda wish it was possible to hide the tab.
Thanks again everyone!!!
@Rick_Bird, @josecgomez Sorry I’ve been out of city for delay in reply. following are the code to hide tab based on user group security hope this will fulfill your requirement .
Yes, I marked @surendrapal latest reply the best answer and I posted my modified code to check for multiple security groups instead of just one as the last post.
We wanted to take a stab at creating a BAQDataView on PartEntry. We were successful at getting this done on a custom panel. We then wanted to continue this and see if we could hide/show the added panel based on User Security Group membership. Utilizing the code posted here has been a great outline. I think we don’t have a firm grasp on the assembly references. When we compile we get the following:
Compiling Custom Code …
----------errors and warnings------------
Error: CS0234 - line 95 (444) - The type or namespace name ‘SupplierPriceList’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Erp.UI.App.PartEntry’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Error: CS0234 - line 95 (444) - The type or namespace name ‘SupplierPriceList’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Erp.UI.App.PartEntry’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Error: CS0234 - line 114 (463) - The type or namespace name ‘UserFileDataSet’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Erp.BO’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)
** Compile Failed. **
SupplierPriceList is the name of our custom panel and we thought that was needed.
As for the UserFileDataSet, I am unsure of what is reference (or using) I should add.
Outside of the Native Assemblies, we added:
Ice.Adapters.UserFile
Ice.Contracts.BO.Userfile
Any help our guidance is much appreciated.
