Hi [mention:bfd227c27aea444eb49c1c9c963d1ba5:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] - I have a solution for this which may have performance impact while running the rule. We can fetch all the users from the group and compare the user's supervisor name from the ri value.

This function is in the Personalization Utilities plug-in, which is a very common, well-known and well-supported one.  Using plug-ins in Appian is standard practice.  Why would you seek to replace good-working functionality with something that's potentially performance-damaging, just to avoid using a plug-in?

if you have list of users , you can try this

a!localVariables(
local!users:{"abc","cd"},
a!forEach(
items: local!users,
expression: if(
user(fv!item,"supervisorName")="john",
fv!item,
null
)
)
)
