Thanks! We ended up using a!isUserMemberOfGroup() and it worked fine.

Well explained by peter and Stefan.
I would ask the question, if they need operate on the same interface? Is a report sufficient for one group?

Yeah what Stefan described is a good approach. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn't a site-wide "Disable" or "Read-Only" option. Instead, you probably need to set the property for each component within a UI individually. There's also a good example if you use the "Create from CDT" template in Interface Designer that shows how to have a single interface that can be either editable or read-only based on a condition. If you use that as a starting point, you can then use the function above to actually set up the conditional logic.

Interface objects have showWhen and some have disabled parameters. Add a condition using a!isUserMemberOfGroup() to check whether the logged in user (loggedinuser() function) is member of that group. Store your groups in constants.

As an example I have a button that allows a user to add an item. But for my view only group, I just want them to see the button and not interact with it.
