When you create a condition based on the user, you tell Quickbase that you want to trigger a form action based on the role of the user editing the form. You can hide or show fields to users in (or not in) a particular role; you can also choose whether to make fields required or editable for users in certain roles.
Operators for the user
When basing a condition on the user's role, you can choose either of these operators:
Is in the role
Is not in the role
Example:
On a form used to manage projects, I want to ensure that only users in the Manager role are able to edit the Approved field.
For my rule's condition, I should select:
When: | ||
---|---|---|
The user | Is in the role | Manager |
For my rule's action, I should select:
Action | |
---|---|
Make editable | Approved |
Otherwise, when the user is not in the role Manager, make read-only Approved.
