Visibility roles of a site page

Question

Hello, I have a question with the visibility roles of a site page.
I have three sites (request, management, new) and in each. For example " =isusermemberofgroup(tostring(loggedInUser()), a!groupsByName("managers"))" but I can not see or see a page if I get a different role

Hi Alejandro - you need to think in terms of "sets". You will have one "set" (or Group) that represents Managers, another for Analysts; and then you need 3 other "sets" (Groups) that represent the roles of: Consultation, Management and Registration. 
 Your Consultation Group needs to contain: the Manager and Analyst groups 
 Your Management Group needs to contain: the Analysts group 
 Your Registration Group needs to contain: the Manager Group 
 Your visibility rules will then refer to the relevant group from the second set. 
 Note: it's better to use constants to hold references to groups than use the a!groupsByName() because a Group's name is not immutable - someone might edit that Group and change its name. But a constant of type 'Group' will act as a permanent pointer to the Group even if the Group's name is changed. Where you need a list of the Groups, re-use the ones you've created as single constants and write an Expression Rule to return the list of those Groups 
 Your code should look something like this: 
 Title Icon Content Visibility Consultation C_PM_consultationSol =isusermemberofgroup(tostring(loggedInUser()), rule!XXX_ER_GROUPS_CONSULTATION) Management C_PM_managementSol =isusermemberofgroup(tostring(loggedInUser()), cons!XXX_GROUP_ANALYST) Registration C_PM_registrationSol =isusermemberofgroup(tostring(loggedInUser()), cons!XXX_GROUP_MANAGER) 
 
 Hope this helps 
 S>

In addition to Stewart's answer which I agree with all of it, I would also recommend that you set up a separate expression rule to handle the visibility for each different site page. So something like "PREFIX_SitePageVisibility_Consultation()", which accepts 1 parameter of username, and contains the necessary group-checking code within it. This will allow you to test the result of the visibility expression easily across a variety of users (just put in different usernames in the test input), and makes future adjustments easier (since you don't need to edit the site setup to make small changes).
