Security Settings and Table View

I notice that although I have used the security settings to turned off the read ability of certain elements for users in my Office and Dispatch groups, they can still see these values in Table View.  What is the best way to deal with this?  Will this situation change with future versions?

Sesame 2.0 table view won't show a column if the user does not have read permissions.

For version 1, you might consider making a form for data entry users which does not include the fields they are not allowed to see in table view. If they still need to be present for calculations, you can set them to be invisible in SDesigner and they will not appear in table view.

Thanks Erika.  Is there a way to prohibit a group from using Table View?  I mean, just shut that capability off completely from them?

Not in 1.x. You can take it off the command tree. Users assigned to a Data Entry level can still see table view, but it is read only.

Thanks again.  Perhaps removing it from the command tree will suffice until 2.0 is available.

This is giving me some trouble.  Can you spot what I'm doing wrong?
Code
Select All
Var vHideItem as Int

// Blocks non-Admin users from deleting records

IF NOT @GROUP = "Admin"
THEN NOTIFYFORM(4)


// Test the visibility of the Table View
IF @TreeItemVisibility("Search Update Menu!Other Commands!Table View (Shift-F6)") = 1
THEN
	// Makes Table View invisible for Dispatchers
	IF @GROUP = "Dispatch"
	THEN
		{
		vHideItem = @HideTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Other Commands!Table View (Shift-F6)")
		}

Take out the check for TreeItemVisibility and see if your trouble goes away. Just Hide it. It won't do any harm if it's already hidden.
