To bind a security roles role to a user interface control

Procedure

  1. In the Solutions view, expand the task you want to work with.
  2. Double-click the task view portlet that contains the user interface control you want to work with (for example, [TaskName]TaskView).
  3. In the portlet view editor, click the user interface control you want to work with.
  4. In the Properties view, locate the appropriate property value that you want the binding to apply to. For example, if you want to make information available for modification to some users, and read-only to other users, you would work with the Read Only property (assuming it exists in the control). Click The Hide Expert Properties button in the Properties view toolbar to show or hide all available properties.
  5. Click the The Expression Binding button associated with the property definition field. The Expression Binding dialog box appears.
  6. Expand the entry for the [TaskName]TaskView. This listing displays the available security roles in the format User in Role ([RoleName]).
  7. Click the security role you want to bind to the control and click OK.
    Note: The OK button will not be enabled if the property field does not support the use of a security role.
  8. Save your changes.
