Employees authorized to add and edit employees global config parameter

Hello Experts,


I have attempted to customize a global config parameter in Web Designer for 'Employees authorized to add and edit employees', by default it is an empty string and I have set it to a simple query:

"uid_person in (select UID_Person
                from person
                where Lower(CustomProperty09) = 'staff' Or Lower(CustomProperty09) = 'faculty')"

based on my requirement where any employee in the organization should be able to request to create an account through Web Portal.

However, my custom query doesn't seem to have any effect, even if I just limit it to one specific person and limit it by PersonnelNumber. It seems to have some kind of hard coded behavior to where as long as logged in person is either a manager or department manager they can add user accounts.

My question is has anyone figured out a way to change it, do I need to modify something else in conjunction with a query I am already modifying. I am just confused what is the purpose of this config parameter if it is truly a hard coded behavior in Web Designer?

Thanks,

Sergei Shvets

    I had the same problem but for 'Employees which can be edited by the current user'. No matter what I did, when I did the preview it would still show the default results. What I winded up doing was I made a copy of the VI_Employee_OverView and created a new key (filter) to replace the OOTB filter and that worked. Not sure if this is a bug or there is something else overriding that filter, but it drove me crazy for a couple days.
