Secure jobs/prints by Group attribute for users with Multiple Groups

I remember from class that the getAttribute function only returns one value. For multiple values the attributeContains function is required.

I find it interesting that you have combined the isMemberOf() and getAttribute functions.

The idea was to make one expression that would cover all groups.

If a user was in the AP group, then the expression would look at their group attribute and allow access to the username element for all users who are also in the AP group.

This could be done by using isMemberOf('AP',UserName)

The user.getAttribute('Group') in place of 'AP' would make this dynamic rather than having 'AP' hard coded into the expression. And this works if you only have one group assigned to the user.


From the Help documentation:
attributeContains(String IAttrName, String IAttrValue)
Checks whether, for the current user, the specified attribute contains the specified value.


attributeContains('Group', 'AP') would return True for my user. But unless I'm missing something from this, I'd need to be able to pull multiple values from the Group attribute.

This works for me

if(UserName==user.getUserName()||isMemberOf('NameOfTheGroup',UserName))
   'I,'
else
   'NO_ACCESS,'

What version of environment are you on that that rule works OK?

I know that with env 9.0.1.11 on Windows (without patches) that rule does NOT work.
