We all know of using @userroles for hiding design elements using @Ismember or @Isnotmember. But @Isnotmember does not check for multiple roles. Here's an easier way.
Code
<style type="text/css"><!--
.TPtext { color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF; }
.TPkeyword1 { color: #0000FF;
background-color: #FFFFFF; }
.TPstring { color: #008080;
background-color: #FFFFFF; }
.TPbracket { color: #FF0000;
background-color: #FFFFFF; }
.TPoperator { color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF; }
--></style>
Suppose a field 'Status' has to be
hidden to all except for people
with roles "[Admin]" or
"[Superuser]". This could be usually
done by using
<span class="TPtext">
<pre>
@<span class="TPkeyword1">
Isnotmember</span><span class=
"TPbracket">(</span><span
class="TPstring">"[Admin]"</span>;
@<span class="TPkeyword1">userroles
</span><span
class="TPbracket">) </span>| @
<span class="TPkeyword1">Isnotmember
</span><span
class="TPbracket">(</span>
<span class="TPstring">"[Superuser]"
</span>;@<span
class="TPkeyword1">userroles
</span><span class="TPbracket">)</span>
</pre>
Instead we could use the permutated
equality on lists as follows:
<pre>
!<span class="TPbracket">(
</span>@<span class="TPkeyword1">
userroles</span>*<span
class="TPoperator">=</span>
<span class="TPstring">"[Superuser]"
</span><span
class="TPoperator">:</span>
<span class="TPstring">"[Admin]"
</span><span
class="TPbracket">)</span>
</pre>
</span>
This is lot more readable and shorter.
