Determine Effective Location Access For Current User
I'm at a loss.
Let's say you have users with more than 1 role. Each role grants access to one or more Subsidiaries, and under each Sub there is one ore more Locations.
In the Employee record, we leave the Location field empty, so as to allow the user access to all locations under whatever subs are available under their current role (choosing a role with different access to subs overrides the sub setting on the employee's record).
I can access a user's role using getRole(). But I can't access the role itself to figure out what Subs that role includes, then what the effective location permissions are given the user's access to those Subs.
