    We are attempting to write a rule in Lawson Security to allow users access to jobs defined by other users in the same group. When using the function isMemberOf(group,lookup) using the UserName element in GEN, we fail because that UserName is a windows NT identity (NT00001). I cannot find a way to translate that UserName into the RMID that is required for isMemberOf(). Can anyone offer suggestions on how we can accomplish this. We are a new Lawson install and trained on 9.0 and Lawson Security, and are unsure how much Lawson Security takes from LAUA.

      You should be able to use the user.getRDId() function to get the user's RMID.
      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

        I know I can do that for the logged in user. Our issue is that we are using the UserName Element from GEN. Our thinking is that we can test the users to see if they are in the specified group and limit what users are available when prompting the user box on a batch program form (ie PR160). What we are trying to accomplish is to have a "generic" user in each application area (prjobuser) that "owns" the job and other users can access that job and submit it. We want to use the "prjobuser" to create the job, have the functional users have access to INQUIRE, CHANGE, and SUBMIT the job, but via Lawson Security lock the functional users out of some of the parameter fields (particularly file name parameters on PR160 and AP161) so that we have consistent output file placement. This also helps with reporting services as the link in RS to publish back office reports is JOB USER and JOB NAME, when we have staff leave we dont lose the link to RS, as all the published reports would be run under the generic user, but submitted by the functional user.

        If there is a way to use the Environment Groups in LAUA, with users controlled by Lawson Security, I would love to know how.
