Readable If within a range

Hello,

 

I want to display only specific records if a user has access to them.

 

I have a table named UserX where Employee is a user field and 'Account Access' which is a Dynamic Multi Choice. I use this table to select the specific user and select multiple Accounts they will have access to. 

 

In the Accounts table in Readable If parameter, I am trying to set the formula to look up the current user in UserX and check if they have read access to the record/account via 'Account Access' field but I cannot get this to work. 

This is what I have so far (and it's not working): 

let currentUser := user();
let sel := first(select UserX where Employee = currentUser);
Id like [record(UserX,sel).'Account Access']

 

Any suggestions?

    To get the record ids of a Dynamic Multiple Choice field you need to use the numbers() function. This returns an array of the ids. There isn't a function which can find an element of an array so, in your case, I have chosen to loop through them. So the script you need to use is 

    let a := this;
let b := false;
for c in select UserX where Employee = user() do
    for d in numbers(c.'Account Access') do
        if d = a then b := true end
    end
end;
b

    S Moore I have just realised that this doesn't allow someone to automatically have access to all the accounts. A subtle change to the code could allow that. Use isAdminMode() to set b at the start and that way setting the wrench to red would give full access. 

    let a := this;
let b := isAdminMode();
for c in select UserX where Employee = user() do
    for d in numbers(c.'Account Access') do
        if d = a then b := true end
    end
end;
b

    It doesn't work 'on the fly' if you are already in Accounts, but re-sets itself by moving away from that table and coming back again.

    Regards John
