Applying default constraint on form based on role

Hi,

I have enabled TOMCAT JDBC Realm in Orbeon. On the form I have applied made
some of the controls visible and read-only based on logged-in user name and
role. I have a respecific requirement that I want to override all the
validations (read-only and visiblity) for a specific role and made all the
controls enabled by default for him.

* I am using Orbeon Form Builder for designing the forms.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

If the user is logged in, and you have assigned a role to that user, you can test on that role in XPath with xxforms:is-user-in-role('your-role'). If you want to hide a control unless the user has the role "manager", you will put in the "relevance" XPath: xxforms:is-user-in-role('manager'). I hope this helps,

Hi Alex,

My apologies if i could not make myself clear,
I have already applied these functions to the controls of the form. My
requirement is to figure out a way to override these applied conditions for a
particular role, say, default role, and to provide all the controls their
default behaviour for this particular role.

Is there a way to do this?

I see. So assuming you have the following binds:

<xforms:bind nodeset="raise" relevant="false()"/>
<xforms:bind nodeset="salary" readonly="true()"/>

If you don't want those to apply if the current user has the "manager" role, you can write:

<xforms:bind nodeset=".[not(xxforms:is-user-in-role('manager'))]">
    <xforms:bind nodeset="raise" relevant="false()"/>
    <xforms:bind nodeset="salary" readonly="true()"/>
</xforms:bind>
