Cube Visibility based on User

Samir Jones

Hello,

According to documentation, it should be possible to apply Cube Visibility based on User.
See screenshot below.

But I can't get it to work. Even if I'm logged in as Patrick Stewart (as in the Board case below), and I deselect Patrick from Cube "User enabled", I will be able to see whatever is ticked in the Granted Cube, regardless of User.

The only workaround I can find for this is to create a Screen Trigger that selects the current User upon entry on the Screen.

Is this workaround the actual solution, or am I missing something?

Hi @Samir Jones,

did you apply the custom select script "User = @User" to your User?

Hi @Leone Scaburri,

I did not. :-)

Now I found other documentation that describes it.

Thank you for your quick and helpful reply.

Best regards,
