Field level ACL - One field Write

[ladrian1610]

Hello, 

How to make a user be able to write only one specific field on a form? I want that users in say 'Management' group are able to edit solely 'approval_status' field on a form, other fields they shouldn't be able to edit. 

I understand that Field level ACL restricts this field to be created/edited/read/deleted by the role specified in the Conditions. So to achieve my goal I could create ACL for Write all the fields apart from 'approval_status' and in Conditions provide, say Admin. This, of course doesn't seem like a best practice.

Hi @ladrian1610 

You can create field level ACL write ACL on that particular field (table.approval_status) with the role as snc_internal or ITIL and in the script just use the below 

answer= gs.getUser().isMemberOf("GROUP_NAME");

Hey there again, upon checking your proposition I realised that the outcome is the user that belongs to the group mentioned in the script can write all the fields but not the approval_status.

Solution that works:

ACL	Operation	Type	Condition/role
table	Write	Table	management
table.approval_status	Write	Field (approval_status)	management
table.*	Write	All other fields	admin

Thus the group with management role can only write the approval_status.
