Form fields
You can control access to specific form fields based on the user user's roles.
The
$fr-roles
XPath variable can be used in formulas controlling whether a field or section is visible or readonly. $fr-roles
contains the list (as an XPath sequence) of roles of the current user, if any. Each role is represented as a string.You can make a control non-visible to the current user by defining a visibility expression that returns
false()
. If the control is visible, you can make it readonly to current user by defining a readonly expression that returns true()
.The following "Visibility" expression makes a section visible only if one of the roles has value
admin
:fr:user-roles() = 'admin'
Due to the logic of XPath comparison on sequences, this expression returns
true()
if at least one of the roles is admin
, even if there are other roles available.NOTE: Until Orbeon Forms 2016.1, use the following instead.
$fr-roles = 'admin'
