Role Security Filter Question

[Brysonds]

Hi!

I am implementing RLS on my data set, and have a (hopefully) simple question.

I have one role, one table, and one table filter expression

Role = Auth required

Table = Invoices

Expression = OR([Sales Position]=USERNAME(), [Management Chain]=USERNAME())

The "Sales Position" field contains one e-mail address for the sales person (example: bob@aol.com). RLS works fine here when I view the data as Bob.

The "Management Chain" field contains multiple e-mail addresses based on an organizational structure and is stored in the following format (example: carol@aol.com; joe@aol.com; david@aol.com). RLS does not work here if I try to view as any one of those users.

I believe it has to do with the formatting of using several e-mail addresses split by a semi-colon. 

Is there a way to make this work with the multiple e-mail addresses in one field? I tried chaing the semi-colon to a comma, but that didn't work either. 

I could always delimit the values into multiple columns (chain 1, chain 2, etc.) and get it work that way, but was hoping there is a simple formatting solution that will work.

Regards,

Bryson

Hi @Brysonds,

I also agree with Parker_Stevens.

Have you solved your problem?

If you have solved, please always accept the replies making sense as solution to your question so that people who may have the same question can get the solution directly.

Hey @Brysonds,

I would recommend using the SEARCH column to see if USERNAME() is contained within the Management Chain field.
