I think you are looking for ability to save something when someone click on collapse or open section events. That is not possible as of now. If you are looking to show something by default on page load as others suggested it is possible by rule inputs or identifying logged-in users and checking whether he is member of group or not.

By maintain rule input (ri!) based on logged in user in the interface

Yeah that's a good point - the interface designer doesn't work correctly on that one!

I just tested this quickly. It looks like you can pass a variable to the isInitiallyCollapsed property but it doesn't behave properly when hitting "Test" in the interface designer. In Tempo (Reports/Tasks/etc) it works just fine.

Misread the question! Thought you meant the ability to collapse vs already collapsed.

This should be possible. Attached is an example of this, you would put your "is user a manager" logic into the local!collapsibleSection variable.

There's an isInitiallyCollapsed property that you could set which might help? It's only available on some of the more recent versions of Appian, though.
