I have never used this function before, but from the help section

When I tried this on my computer, it rendered no result, but it might be a function which can be used on AccessPoint? Don't really know, but I just thought you might want to play around with it to see if this can help you.

Take a text box and write the following in it,

=Osuser() &chr(10) & ComputerName() &chr(10) & QVuser() and feel the difference

also add Clientplatform() to it

it may help what u want

There is no OsGroup() function , OsUser() function will be sufficient. what exactly do you want?

Hi Omid,

sorry, but do you mean the Windows Security Group/s, that the user belongs to?

I think that if you add AD group names to the NTUSER column in section access, this group name will be applied to OsUser() when the user connects using the group name.

I haven't tested that though...
