There is a function at top of forms,users can use it to manage attachment.

I want to realize that only specific user(such as assign to )can download files.(It is also ok to not display the entire function )

How should I do?Please help me,please~

Hi @Shirley7 ,

You can achieve this by writing a read ACL on the sys_attachment table.

if(current.table_name=="your_table_name")

{

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf('your_group name'))

{

answer =true;

}

else

{

answer=false

}

}

Please mark the answer as helpful, if it helped you accordingly.

Thanks,

Hari

HI @Shirley7 ,

To restrict the download of attachments on a form to specific users, you can use Access Control Rules (ACRs). Here's how you can do it:

Navigate to the sys_attachment table.
Create a new Access Control Rule.
Set the following conditions in the ACR:

Operation: read
Role: [specific role(s) that can download attachments]
Advanced: [add a condition to limit access to attachments assigned to a specific user or group] ,the condition would be something like "assigned_to=javascript&colon;gs.getUserID()".

Save the ACR.
