Is it possible to change user's menu(role) according IP?

[Former Member]

I wonder whether it is possible to change user's menu(role) according to IP?

For example,

when user logs in to EP at the office, he can see menu A,B,C,D,E...etc..

But when he logs in to EP at his home using VPN, he can only see menu A,B....

I hope there is a way to implement this..

Please let me know the way...

If it needs some kind of programming skills,

pls post the program code(I can use Webdynpro JAVA).

Thanks in advance..

I dont really think this would be possible since role is assigned to user. Using the IP you can change the look and feel but going to the role level seems not so feasible.

But if you would like to try.....modify the logon page and check the domain name through which the user has entered the system and use IUser interface to modify the roles. But the problem with this approach you will have to do the same thing again when the user is logging in from the intranet and this will cause some performance issues.

Anyways while u close the thread, do post the aproach you use for the same.

Thanks GLM.

According to ur advice, I'll consider modifying Logon page.

But like u said, I think there will be performace issue.

If we adopt ur advice, I'll let u know the result..
