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

See, you can always use variable instead of using the OsUser() directly, but in that case too, you have to compare that value with some string, right?

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.

it is not a comparison against a string. it is a comparison against a static table that i have got.

You mean, you have table like:

Sheet	User
SH01	Peter
SH02	Jack

If so, you can give a try (not sure):

=If(osuser()=User, Sheet)='SH01'   // for sheet1
