Can you perform section access for tabs? So if I was authenticating users by their AD login information, can I say what tabs within a document they can see?
Ok, first of all you need a common field between the Section Access and the Section Application... this way you can use the configuration "Initial Data Reduction based on Section Access", the field could be the NTNAME for example. In the Section Application you'll have your access table, so the script may look like this:
Section Access;
LOAD * INLINE [
ACCESS, NTNAME
ADMIN, JOHN.DOE
USER. JANE.DOE
USER. JOE.SMITH
];
Section Application;
ACCESS:
LOAD * INLINE [
NTNAME, APPLICATIONS,USER,MANAGER
JOHN.DOE,X,X,X
JANE.DOE,X,X,
JOE.SMITH,,,X
];
Finally, you put the expressions on the sheets show conditions:
Only(APPLICATIONS)='X' , Only(USER)='X' and Only(MANAGER)='X'
Hi, for this I'm using the "Initial Data Reduction based on Section Access", this configuration is made under the Document Properties / Opening tab. By using this, when a user opens the document all the unrelated values (other user access) are erased... also the tabs are defined to be conditionally shown with the expression Only(Access) = 'X',making the other tabs hidden. Got it?
When I put that in, my tab disappears. So how do I get it back? I need to put an 'X' underneath that tab name in the application access portion of the script?
