Question

User role specific text box validation

0

I want to add specific validation to a text box for a certain user role. For example, the form fields can be seen by all users, but only a user with a role of ‘Line Manager’ is required to complete the salary field. Can this be done using the Validation property on the text box or is it only possiable through a microflow?

on your save action button you can also define a microflow validation. You could check the current users user roles and check whether the LineManager is among them.

Yes, you can do that without using a microflow for the validation. But you will need to put the field on the form twice. Once in a container visible for anyone except the certain userrole, and not having the validation required. And once in a container visible for the certain userrol with having the validation required.
