Accessing MRE role
Any way to access an MRE user's role? I see there are a few MRE variables that are accessible, but nothing like IBIMR_user_role. I'm trying to turn certain features on/off in a dashboard tab, based on the user's role.


Thanks.

Mac,

I don't know all the columns output, or, if user role is among them, but, MREXTRACT would be a likely source, I think...

I've put together a security exit that uses an open source html parser to read the user.htm and present some of the data in there as &Variables. Currently it exposes the user's full name and email address. IF you are using the file based (default) MRE authorization, and IF you are using 76, and IF you want to be a guinea pig, I could change the process to include role as well and send you all the necessary JARs and config instructions.
