Hello Vijay,

1. How we will get the User group in WDJ Application.,

there is one method in the UME API to check wether the user belongs to the group or not for this

IUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();

boolean result = user.isMemberOfGroup(<uniqueIdOfGroup>, true) ;

here based upon the boolean you can maintain the Buttons.

You can write this code in the doinit method.

Take an attribute of type boolean for controlling the button. Bind the UI element property of the button to Context and change the context variable based on the result.

Thanks,

Hi ,

You can use the following code for accessing Group info of login user.

//==============get logged in user

try {

String userId = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser().getUniqueName();

} catch (WDUMException e) {

msgmgr.reportException(e.getMessage(), true);

}

//============pass that user and access the group information==========

IUserFactory userFact=UMFactory.getUserFactory();

IUser ume_user;

try {

ume_user = userFact.getUserByLogonID(userId);

Iterator groups = ume_user.getParentGroups(true);

while (groups.hasNext()) {

String groupstr = (String) groups.next();

com.sap.security.api.IGroup g = UMFactory.getGroupFactory().getGroup(groupstr);

}

} catch (UMException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

Hi Vijay,

Why don't you create a Java permission that enables the Search and Download Button and then only assign that permission to the group you want. Has the advantage that you can flexibly change what group or groups can use this authorization without touching your code and there are surely plenty of examples of how to program this.
