Topic: How to allow/disallow UPDATE mode using @ID

[nchalkias]

I was wondering if there is a way to go into UPDATE mode using the @keyU in INPUT processing. I plan on using @ID to allow specific users to do UPDATES and others not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Use @update label. I'm guessing you'll need a 'users' table to lookup to so that you can 'set' permissions from.

For example:

Code: [Select]

@update  If: @id ne "root"
       Then: errorbox "Sorry, only 'root' can use update." ; end
         If:
       Then: screen ; end

Obviously, your tests would probably be more involved.  But the idea is that, if the user isn't allowed, display the error and END.  Otherwise, continue through with SCREEN and any other processing.

That worked. I have a users table already.
Thanks.
