how to read, without error, session variable

Brian P

Hi Community,

First time community user, hopeful this is a good place to post.

Have some Analysis where we use session variables like NQ_SESSION.user ... works no problem.

Now, attempting to iterate thru a list of User Groups or Roles, to determine if the logged in user, has the role, associated with a specific value. Trying to figure out how to adjust the formula column to process that, using either the NQ_SESSION.ROLES or NQ_SESSION.GROUP session variable.

Initially thought there might be a function like 'split' but that does not appear to be exposed thru the user interface.

Objective:

looking to perform a similar operation where we want to use the session variable representing the Roles the logged in user is in, to determine if they are in a pending approver role. The Session Variable ROLES (or possibly GROUP) should return the list of all Roles (semicolon separated string). However, for simplicity, if we set the Formula of a column up to return the string … we are consistently getting a too many rows.

Any thoughts, insight or direction here would be greatly appreciated.

Take one step back and explain in detail what you're trying to achieve. "Now, attempting to iterate thru a list of User Groups or Roles, to determine if the logged in user, has the role, associated with a specific value."

What exactly do you want to compare NQ_SESSION.ROLES against? Something in a DB table?

You're probably too deep in the solution you chose already.
