Hi,

Unfortunately, this is not an option at this time. The only solution is to look at the username with the internal tag "UserName" and then possibly have a global script that checks which user group it belongs to.

I had to do something similar for a project.

I had a series of hidden objects on my header screen that had user authentication for my different user groups. Each had a script that checked their operability and if they were operable, set a bit to indicate that user group was active. 

Not the cleanest solution, but it worked well.

Hello p cox

Would it be possible for you to either post your solution or tell me how to evaluate a users auth in runtime?

Hi,

I had three hidden boxes on my screen header that each had different authorisation levels (1 for each user type).

Each then had a script that checked the "operability" property and set a tag if the object was operable and reset it if not. See attached screenshot - hope this helps!

 Can I ask where the script was placed

 Hello GJOSEPH,

I don't think you will receive an answer soon since the user p cox was the last online a few months ago:

Please start a new topic, when you have an issue. Please describe it with detailed information.

Hi Ryuxant,

I too owe you my thanks for putting me on to this. I had a significant struggle to make it work, and for any others interested I got these links from Siemens Tech support about the formal documentation for these methods.

• https://docs.tia.siemens.cloud/r/en-us/v20/wincc-unified-javascript-object-model-rt-unified/hmiruntime-rt-unified/usermanagement-rt-unified/usermanagement.hasuserrole-rt-unified
• https://docs.tia.siemens.cloud/r/en-us/v20/wincc-unified-javascript-object-model-rt-unified/hmiruntime-rt-unified/usermanagement-rt-unified/usermanagement.getrolesfromuser-rt-unified

I had some code that just refused to work, and I could not get the RTILtraceViewer to show me the messages my script was generating. Technical support suggested I start with a code snippet and edit in stages to be what I needed. That strategy essentially worked, but I am damned if I can see the difference between the code that wouldn’t work, and the final version of the code that does work.

In any case, I am there. I can now display active User Type along with active User Name as used to be so easy to achieve on the old panels. I’m only not sure I understand why it has to be so much more difficult on Unified panels.
