How to disable 'detail' app access when no access granted?

Applications Forms
#1

I have a master/detail apps.
And i also prepare a user who has access to the ‘master’ app and not the ‘detail’

How come when i access the ‘master’ app, i can stil access the ‘detail’ apps where i have no access?

Below is my working doc

Thanks for your comments.

Access is granted on the highest level, that is from the menu level. So if you have a master-detail the detail is considered to belong to the master. So if you have access to the master you have access to the detail. You need to create a master-only page.

#3

another sad news i got from SC :frowning:

i hope SC developer can hear me and provide such enhancement, which to make ‘detail’ app recognize the security as well rather just based on master app

#4

is there any macro can retrieve what are the ‘detail’ app for the master app?
i am hoping to customize and hide the detail app if no access to them.

anyway to achieve this?

#5

Reason i need this feature so desprately is because i wish to push SC to the limit and cater for following scenario

“I have a Master Employee app, it has detail apps (Job detail, Person detail, compensation, misc setup)”
Senior HR - can access Job, Person, Compensation
Junior HR - can access Job, Person
Compensation Manager - can access Job, Person, Compensation
SuperAdmin - all detail apps

And i also have a plan to MOD SC so it accept multiple security ‘Group’ instead of just one
It’s tedious to make each of them as a seperated master app. (hope it’s not the only workaround…)

No, look at sc_block_display(<block_name>, off) …

Hi Weilies,

I also would like that it would be possible to switch off the display of a page. At the moment it is the only possibility to switch of the block, as Reinhard mentioned, or having the same form twice, one time with, the other without the ‘secret’-page.

The option to switch off the block will show a blank page to the ones, who are not allowed to access. This always will make them ask what is on that page :frowning:

No, i have not a blank page with sc_block_display(<block_name>, off). Only the space between two tabs is marginal larger.

@RHS afaik a master detail is something else then having a block of data… The detail is a separate app running in an iframe in a master-detail relationship…

#10

Albert, i have as example five master/detail forms (one master, five details). The details arranged with/in tabs. And this tabs i can show / not show with sc_display_block().

#11

I know the show hide block feature, that’s why I need a macro to list out all the detail app, then by passing in master app name, I will be able to tell which detail app is accessible and trigger a show/hide detail.

But again, I can’t find such macro

#12

Senior HR - can access Job, Person, Compensation
Junior HR - can access Job, Person
Compensation Manager - can access Job, Person, Compensation
SuperAdmin - all detail apps

Here is an example as Reinhard suggested!
Configure your detail blocks as tab.

In the onLoad event of your master.


switch([v_group])
{
    case 'Junior': //or whatever your group-id is
        sc_block_display(misc,off);
        sc_block_display(compensation,off);
        break;
    case 'Compensation':
    case 'Senior':
        sc_block_display(misc,off);
        break;
//  you can add as many cases as you need/want.
}

No need for a macro, it’s all there.

I don’t want to be the grumpy old man, but does that give you empty tabs? Then it would be an ugly option. But I never tried that. Or does it make a tab disappear?

#14

No empty tabs, disabled tabs aren’t shown at all. I use it all the time.
As Reinhard mentioned the gap between visible tabs (if you have disabled tabs in between) is a fraction wider.

Is there a way to retrieve ‘detail’ apps which tagged to a master app by passing in master app name?
E.g.
sc_get_detail_app(‘PersonMaster’)
return array
[0] - PersonAddress
[1] - PersonPhone
[2] - PersonOtherTable…

#16

No.
And there are no ‘tags’ either.
What purpose should it serve?

#17

Logged user > Group > Master App access > findout if the user has access to the detail app or not (and perform show/hide block)
With this, i only hardcode the master app ONCE in Event.
Then i have multiple Group wihtout hardcode the Group into Event (as in your example above)

That’s why i hope to hv a macro to list detail app.

#18

I have not hardcoded the rights for a given user group. I’am use my own security system and i can, as an example, set the rights for a tab to “no”. In this case i’am use sc_block_display(<block_name>, off) and the tab is not visible for this user group. Simple and effective …
