Current user member of...??

[.-=] ExTrEmE [=-.]

Another question!

There's a way to know the group or groups the current user is member of,
directly from infopath (2007) ?
I've looked on Usergroup.asmx webservice and the specifice call to
GetGroupCollectionFromUser... but i can't get it working :-(

I've serched on the net.. but nothing of helpful
I create a new connection to get data, from webservice, UserGroup.asmx,
select GetGroupCollectionFromUser.. then infopath force me to write a sample
user login (and i see only this in the list).
I put in my login, it found me. Connection created... but looking in data
source i see only userLogin property.. nothing else

So..
How can i pass to the service the login of current user, each time forms
open?
How can i view the group of current user?

Any help form me?
Thanks Again

Hello,

By "current user" I'm assuming you mean Sharepoint user and groups... lmk if
that's not what you want...

I used this for a Forms-based authenticated site, so Windows-based may be
different. Write some code-behind in the Infopath form similar to the
following:

SPWeb site = new SPSite(<url for site>).OpenWeb();
myLoginName = site.CurrentUser.LoginName;
myName = site.CurrentUser.Name;

foreach (SPGroup g in site.CurrentUser.Groups)
{
// Do something with each of the groups this user belongs to
groupName = g.Name;
}

Note that if you are testing your form locally rather than on the web, this
will return an error from memory, so I used a simple check to see what the
template path was

eg. string myWebUrl = this.Template.Uri.ToString();

and then check if the myWebUrl is a url, or a filepath.

HTH

Gavin.

Thanks, this is a good solution.
There's a 'problem'.. Actually I can't build forms with code, because i'm
not the admin.. and asking to admins to approve forms can take long time
(it's big banking group).
So.. there's a way to get the same results with use of standard moss2007
webservices?

Thanks again
