Lock a form based on User

[Luka84]

Good day,

I would like to lock a form from being edited based on the user

Tried entering the below formula but doesn't seem to work - Not sure why

It worked for the "Visible" property but this is not what I am trying to achieve, my goal is to keep it visibile but only allow specific people to edit it

Formula used on the "DefaultMode" property of the form

If((User().Email="ABC@Email.com"),FormMode.Edit, FormMode.View)

Screenshot for reference:

Thanks in advance

Luka

Hi @Luka84 ,

I've tested your formula and found it is right.

However, please notice one thing: capitalization.

Using the operator of "=" will case sensitive.

So try this formula:

If(Lower(User().Email)=Lower("....@....com"),FormMode.Edit,FormMode.View)

This works for me.

Best regards,

Hi @Luka84 

Can you please more details about the scenario this is not working as expected? I carried out a test on side and when an item is opened for edit, this works fine but when I was trying to add a new item, this initiated to a new form form.

If you wish to set this to View for certain users, I would recommend you to apply this if logic in the "OnNew", "OnEdit","OnView" itself because the properties passed as form inputs are taken at a priority.

Please share more details on the expected behavior and we can work together to get the formula in place.

Hope this Helps!

Spot on !!

I added the formula to the OnEdit property of my SharePointIntegration and it worked like a cham 😃

Thank you so much for your help

Formula for reference:

Refresh('CASH APPROVAL'); EditForm('02.USER'); EditForm('01.HEADER') ; EditForm('04.SERVICES'); If((User().Email="abd@email.com"),EditForm('03.CASHIER'),ViewForm('03.CASHIER')); Navigate(OVERVIEW, ScreenTransition.None)
