Filtering and showing table entries based on user role

I am using an User Defined Table. I want to build a XSL file that will filter entries in the User Defined Table based on the role assigned to the current user. I want to get the roles this user is assigned to and test if it belongs to a specific special role. If so, I will show a certain content. Is it possible to do that with User defined tables? does it have a specific tag that allows me to pull that information from the user profile?

Re: Filtering and showing table entries based on user role

no, that is not possible this way. you can however create a reference to an existing module with appropriate xsl filtering, and use DNN permissions to display this only to users within a specific role.

Sebastian is wrong.

You will find the roles of the user inside the xpath /udt:Context/udt:UserRoles. They are concated and surrounded by |.

Example: |role1|role2|role3|

You can test whether a user is in a certain role using:
<xsl:if test="contains(/udt:Context/udt:UserRoles,'|role1|'">

Stefan,

thank you for your correction. I must have overlooked this in the user documentation.

It is described in the UDT3.3.7 documentation at page 40 inside the new xsl chapter.
