capture user role at login

[Sam23]

When a user logs into the app, is is possible to capture the user role if that data is in the users table?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi,

This is a sample configuration to achieve that in a Results page. Same process can be applied to Details page as well.

Are you trying to save this value in a table, or are you trying to use it as a parameter or something? Are you trying to keep track of the user roles on login?

Hi @Sam23,

If you want to get your user's information upon login, you can use Authentication Field for receiving and using it in your DataPage. You may check these articles:

I hope this helps

Thanks, all! The last answer by GoodBoy was what I needed. I was already using RLS to limit records to a particular group using the app, but then needed to further refine the privileges within that group to those who could view only vs edit, etc. The answer is simple: put an authorization level in the user table and use a virtual field to capture that role or level and show or hide what I need to from there.

Thanks,

Sam
