yep, it worked. The expression I used : a!isUserMemberOfGroup(loggedInUser(),cons!SHP_ADMINGROUP),
note- SHP is my application name.

Interesting question you have. How much experience do you have with Appian? Did you follow the online trainings and tutorials?

Now u got me confused. What is the essence of creating a constant again? Can't that be written as expression directly ? Thanks in advance for the response

Yes. This is how you do that.

For the group, create a constant pointing to that group.

That is my question if that expression will work. What is on the link you sent is how to check a known username (isusermemberofgroup( username, groupId )) , which is not my intention. What I want to do is this : isusermemberofgroup( loggedInUser(), MyGroup ). I am not sure if that is correct

Will this work?

isusermemberofgroup(loggedInUser() ,SupervisorGroup)

All the details are already there.

Use isusermemberofgroup( loggedInUser(), MyGroup ) to check whether the user is in a group

and put this code into visibility for record views or showWhen for certain components.

I m sorry, but I think a practical example would help. I already mentioned the scenario. I want to show the Task Tab on my Site only to Supervisor group. What would be the expression to do that in the interface then?

RE: Task Tab Visibility

Stefan Helzle — Mon, 03 May 2021 07:57:45 GMT

You can define visibility using the provided information. In addition to that you can define visibility of any component on an interface with the showWhen parameter?

Does that help?

What I wanted to hide is the Task Tab, which I only want to make available to the Supervisor group on my Site. Do u get my point now ?

Stefan Helzle — Mon, 03 May 2021 07:51:28 GMT

The summary view can not be made invisible. The reason is that general access to the record is implemented by default filters.

Checking for group membership is done using the function isusermemberofgroup()

docs.appian.com/.../fnc_people_isusermemberofgroup.html

olalekana0448 — Mon, 03 May 2021 07:49:27 GMT

or is this expression correct: isusermemberofgroup( loggedInUser(), MyGroup ) ? if not, can you please help formulate the expression correctly?

RE: Task Tab Visibility

olalekana0448 — Mon, 03 May 2021 07:46:47 GMT

Thanks, Stefan. What i wanted is to check if the logged-in user is a member of a group. Only then can a task tab be accessed. loggedInUser() = "MyGroup". Will that work, if not can u correct the expression please?
