Hi,

I am using the getdistinctusers() function in a portal form to populate a dropdown list with users from a specific group.

When I execute the form as admin it works just fine. When I use my test user with limited priviliges I get the following error message:
(Expression evaluation error at function 'getdistinctusers': Error evaluating function 'getdistinctusers' :
com.appiancorp.kougar.mapper.exceptions.UndeclaredException: PrivilegeException[null=>null]: Insufficient permission)

What could be the reason for this? Do you have to have admin rights in order to execute the function?

TIA, Moritz...

can you check what the group's Type is (in Security Settings)? Unless it's Public you might have issues.

Can you also try doing:

getdistinctusers(topeople(XXXXXX))

where XXXXXX is your constant/pv that holds the group?

Sorry forgot to mention those things. The group is a custom group and is public. I am also using a constant in which the group is referenced. The security setting of the constant is set so that all users can read it.

After some more testing I found out that it was related to the Privacy settings, which were on high. After lowering them my regular user was allowed to see the members of the group and therefore the rule showed the result as expected.

Thanks for all the hints!
