HasRole property

True if the user is assigned the specified role for the default object (ParentFolder or WorkArea) or an optional specified Document (expressed as Document.ParentFolder), Folder, WorkArea, or Vault object. Read-only.

Syntax

HasRole(Role, [Object]) As Boolean

Remarks

To use this property in a visibility expression to conditionally show custom properties or pages in a new document wizard, the Object parameter must be specified as the expected destination folder of the new document. By default, new documents do not yet have a ParentFolder value in the DocGenericEvent_BeforeNewDocument event when the wizard is active.

If the default or a specified object does not have any roles assigned and also does not inherit any role assignments from a parent, this property will always return True. This behavior is by design; role-based security is disabled if there are no roles assigned in the vault. To enable role-based security and return a different result, assign at least one role to the root of the vault.
