Get user's user group

🗪 Support (Q&A)

Hi,
I would like to set some input parameters visible only for certain user groups.
In order to do that, is there a way to get the user group (similarly to the user full name for example: API().get_current_user().full_name)?
If not, do you have any workaround to do this?
Thank you,
Fulei

Hi @fzhou,

It’s currently not possible to differentiate field visibilities based on a usergroup.

In order to help formulating a potential workaround: can you explain the reason for this desired functionality? In other words: what are you trying to achieve?

kind regards,
Matthijs

Hi Matthijs,

Thank you for the response.

I want only allow some advanced users to download an Excel file. For that I was planning to have the download button hidden for standard users.

Best regards,
Fulei

If you are limiting this because of convenience (and not because they are not allowed to), you could consider a “advanced settings” BooleanField. I don’t see a quick workaround if other users are not allowed to download this unfortunately.

kind regards,
Matthijs
