Hi Kallol,

You can do by checking the roles by user, do the following,

In service studio -> Logic -> Roles -> (your user role), when you expand you see 3 actions pre-defined by default, Like

1) Check<rolename>

2) Grand<rolename>

3) Revoke<rolename>

Here you can use this in your screen by calling Check<rolename> action passing the logged-in user.

After you use if widget and make condition "Check<rolename>(userid)", true part put real button enabled, and else part put dummy button with disabled.

This way no one do tricks to enable the button from client side.

Thanks,

Balu

Hi Kallol,

If you are completely new I would suggest going with the online course before you start anything they have explained each and everything there.

Hello I am new to Outsystems and I would like to understand where my error is here in this syntax. I would like to take the value of the adm rule, to check if the user belongs to the adm group or not. I appreciate the help of friends! Thankful.

Hi Kleber,

You can't define an Expression or a function call in the Default value field of a Boolean Local Variable instead you can only pass the Boolean Literal i.e. True or False. For your use-case, add an Assign node in the start of the preparation action flow with LHS leveluser = CheckAdminRole(UserId) RHS

"Next time please create your own post for your own problem. Now you added your question to an existing thread that has already a reply marked as a solution. If someone gives you a reply it cannot be marked as solution, and thereby it will be less visible to other OutSystems community members. "

Hope this helps you!
