Hi all,

We have RSA IM 6.9.1 (SP 13) and I made some updates on security context file to create an Department Assistant role through which a user can manage the users from those departments where he is an assistant.

In the "My user" page the list of the users is displayed properly, but on the Add Access page, all the users are displayed (when selecting the AllUsers user view).

I tried to create some other view to limit the list of users that are shown, but without luck., because the user view sql does not have a attribute for requestor/logged in user like we have for security context (${id})

Did anyone had this problem until now? Or does any one has an idea how to limit the user view result.

I added to this post 2 images with the "my user page" and "add access"

Bogdan

  Have you tried under Request->Configuration->RequestButtons section..There you can play around with Button Settings...

    Don't they allow you to configure the button level settings ? Like who will see the button.
    
    But here the discussion point is if anyone wants to add access/change access or remove access, he should see only those department users where he is an assistant.
    
    We can only configure the same thing by creating a New User View and showing these views to department representative users (which can be done by security context as per Bogdan). But the challenges are to select the list of users in that view. In the below screenshot, the highlighted query has to be dynamic and should suffice the condition as Bogdan mentioned

  The buttons does not help, because we can not have one button for each department. The button is to be displayed or not to the users. But we need to have that a requestor can see only the users from the department where he is an assistant. We can not have one button for each department and add this buttons to the assistants.

    The controls you are looking for (based on logged in user) are not available on the buttons or the user views. Can you instead try creating a new Global form as shown below where you can limit the users based on requestor's (logged in user) attributes. You can then add a variable in this form of type 'Entitlement Table With Actions' and the form can then be associated to 'Add Access' button or a new button...

      I have found the same solution but wonder how "Direct subordinates" user view works. Somehow it manages to refer to current logged in user. Any information?

        It is a hardcoded sql query in the application code. I decompile it some time ago
