Folder Filter Expression Syntax

Security

Updated February 26, 2015

asked on February 26, 2015

I have a question regarding the syntax. We have a situation where a department is separated into teams but within certain teams there are employees who only need access to specific doc types. We have assigned security tags based on group/doc type need but we need a way to restrict access for certain employees who technically have access based on group tags.

We did some research and saw that we can accomplish this by using the filter expression, however, when using the syntax "Context ('username') = 'username' for a Windows Account the access rights are not taking effect.

My question is this: does the context ('username') only work for Laserfiche users or is there a different syntax for a Windows Account?

The user name for Windows users is of the form DOMAIN\UserName and not just UserName. Try including the domain name and the backslash and see if that works.

Thanks for the help. I had already tried the DOMAIN\UserName in the syntax but when I originally tested it I used my account. I didn't realize that my account (full admin) was overriding the filter expression.

Thanks again.

This is a secondary question that is related, What if I need to add multiple users? Can I use the OR statement?

The OR logical operator will work. You can also use AND, but if you mix AND and OR in the same expression you should use parenthesis to clarify the order.
