Allow/Disallow tabs without Section Access

[#1]

Hi, I have a requirement, which I feel would be common in most implementations. Based on the user login, I need to allow/disallow tabs.

e.g.

Peter     SH01

MacGill SH01

Peter    SH02

This will be a sample maintenance, say SH01 is the sheet id. Based on the user login for e.g. Peter, he should get access to both sheets. MacGill should get access only to SH01.

Can you please help how to implement this.

Thanks,

Ram

sorry tres, what would be the condition here?

[#4]

let us say I capture the osuser() in a variable say vCurrentUser. How to use this variable in the condition?

[tresesco]

Expression something like:

=If(OsUser()='Peter')   // for whichever sheet you want to give access to Peter (in your case this has to be there in SH01)

Update: Or, even you can simply write : =OsUser()='Peter'                         // without IF

No tres, I can't hardcode usernames.

Then, what would be your logic?

hmm. This link shows how to implement using section access. I can't afford to take the user name as input. The osuser is captured in a variable and based on that variable and the configuration i showed above it should decide to allow/disallow tabs.
