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

  • Sergei,

    What I did was add a new configuration parameter on the custom Employee_Overview I created and named it "Prefix_Employee_Filter". Then on the custom tab of the Employee_Overview add a Configuration Entry (right click on Configurator tree) and name the filter the same. Compile the project, and then go to Edit==>Configure project and look for your newly created filter and put your query there.

    I am not sure if this will solve your problem, but it did for me.

    Hopefully this works.
