Hi Durga,   String groupVal=(String)groupList.next(); com.sap.security.api.IGroup g = Factory.getGroupFactory().getGroup(groupstr);  Here i am getting the all groups assigned to user with all text for group. by using above code. How can we read specific Groupname or Group ID from above list. If i read get the group name from above list, then i can check against the group and set the Enable option. thanks rag

Yes,

But you need to maintain the Unique type based on you can manage the you setting.

what i observed in groups.there are mainly two parts in data source.

1.Unique ID: GRUP.SUPER_GROUPS_DATASOURCE

2.Unique ID: GRUP.PRIVATE_DATASOURCE.un.

Here 1 point are Unique values and some permission group we can't change.

2nd point is our custom value like wdj role assign into the groups and some other.

so while creating the wdj group starting maintain any content value.So this value you can check the group list in the user and that group you can set the your option

You can use UME API for the requirements.

1) Import following package.Might be u need to add com.sap.security.api.jar ,if needed in your dc.

import com.sap.security.api.*;

2) Write below codes in your wdDoInit() method, so while user logged in to the application we can able to read the user id & can check the user belongs to specified group or not.

IUser loggedUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();//logged on user

boolean groupRresult = loggedUser .isMemberOfGroup(test_group, true) ;  //Unique ID of your required group->test_group

3) Bind the UI element - button enable property with one boolean attribute.

3) If groupRresult is coming as true you can set your boolean attribute as true & it will enable the button. otherwise set the attribute as false so it will disable the button.

Hi Patralekha,

I tried using your

boolean groupRresult = loggedUser .isMemberOfGroup("test_group", true) ;

test_group = GRUP.CORP_LDAP.cn=deo_test,ou=gta groups,ou=fdor global groups,dc=fdor,dc=dor,dc=state,dc=fl,dc=us

But getting an below error.

Error: the method isMemberOfGroup(String, Boolean) is undefined for type string

isMemberOfGroup -  method is which API? i have trued it and it geave an error

I did imported the API in my Webdynpro component - implementation

import com.sap.security.api.*;

But this import is dis-appear when i saved/build the DC.

I am using java  j2sdk1.4.2_38 was it support this method.

How to resolve this error.

I wrote the as below

  String userID = "";

  try {

  userID = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser().getUniqueName();

  } catch (WDUMException e) {

  //e.printStackTrace();

  userID = "";

  }

boolean groupRresult = userID.isMemberOfGroup("GRUP.CORP_LDAP.cn=deo_test,ou=gta groups,ou=fdor global groups,dc=fdor,dc=dor,dc=state,dc=fl,dc=us", true);

Thanks
