Can an app set the current user ?

Classic Servoy
1

I am trying to roll my own security in light of the fact that there is no
programmatic login in Servoy.

The problem is that unless I can load the current user, I am not able to
take advantage of the Servoy security code for managing access via groups.

I can see from other posts that there is no security.login method.

Is there any was to load the current user from within a application?
for example security.setUserName or security.setUseID would do it.

Are there any methods to do this?

If you are going to create your own security:

I have a table of users:
User_ID
User_Name
Password
Dept
Role
Etc…

Create a login screen with will capture the User ID by a global relationship based on the password / User_Name.

Assign the User_ID to a global

Thats what I am doing, might not be what you are looking for.

Hi Erich,

What Dan wants is something I (and others) are missing as well.
Which is using our own security like you are doing as well, BUT also connecting it to a Servoy Security defined user.
This way you can let Servoy security handle things like tracelog, access to certain tables/columns, etc. next to your own custom security measures.

Hope this clears things up.
