Extend user criteria

Extend the user criteria table when the available user criteria fields are not sufficient. User criteria references various user fields (fields from the User [sys_user] table), such as department, company, and groups. You can extend user criteria with a custom field to include any other user reference field (field from the User [sys_user] table) of interest.

For example, you can extend user criteria to include the user's cost center, and then restrict certain catalog items only to members of that cost center.

Meet the following rules to extend the user criteria table.

• The field to add must be a reference field in the user record.
• The field added to the user criteria table must be List type.
• The fields must have matching names. For example, cost_center [sys_user] and u_cost_center ("u" prefix is added to custom fields in a table) are considered to be matching.

This example demonstrates how to extend the current user criteria record to include Cost center as an option.
