Hi,

Create a reusable server action that encapsulates the logic for checking the user's role with using the (CheckRole) function.

And call it in input, screens.

Hope this help's you 

Thanks

Hi Low Nico,

Try to follow these steps-

- create a static entity, and add all roles in it and keep the same names as the roles are having.

- now take the dependencies from the system for Entity- Role, UserRole, Role
- now create a server action and add Aggregate and apply these filters

and then you can put the output is true or not 

now create an data action for each screen and use that server action.
and you can use this data action on ready or on after fetch and if the action returns false the you send on another screen.

Thanks and regards

Prince

Hi Low,

Indeed there is no concept of a readonly role in OutSystems. You define as a developer the role and what permissions the role has. You have two options to solve this.

1. Use one screen for roles that allow to change data and the role to only read. Using the CheckRole function you need to condition your screens to block input and change actions to your data. This has a few advantages and disadvantages;
   • Advantage is you have one screen to maintain for both roles
   • Disadvantage are that it makes the screen widget tree and logic more comple and is easy to forget to handle each role correctly with future changes to the screen
2. Create a seperate set of screens which only displays data. This is more work, but it has 2 important advantages:
   • It is more secure and easier to code and maintain. When you change and edit screen you cannot forget the read-only role.
   • You can define a different screen layout that better fit the users of the read-only role.
