Hi Bjørn

I think you can do this. On a department admin user, you can take that user object, look at the users groups properties and find all users in there. That can be done from the product template if written in Razor. The size information is then easy to map to a variant.

You can get the current logged in user using User.Current: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/api/html/25aa3b0f-43c4-65ea-948c-131abd318626.htm

And locate the group:

https://doc.dynamicweb.com/api/html/9247917b-9eb6-1cd4-ea5b-9653bfc333f4.htm

So something like

var user = Dynamicweb.Security.UserManagement.User.GetCurrentExtranetUser();
var group = user.Groups[0]; //Expection exactly one group - not 0 not 2 or more
var users = group.Users;
foreach(var u in users)
{
        var name = u.Name;
}

When adding the product to the cart, you can if you want, get one line for each person by having a custom orderline field for the name and fille that out when adding the product to the cart.

To update. If someone else needs something similar. Heres my code...

@{
                        var user = Dynamicweb.Security.UserManagement.User.GetCurrentExtranetUser();
                        var group = user.Groups[0]; //Expection exactly one group - not 0 not 2 or more
                        var users = group.Users;
                        var groupParent = group.Parent;
                        string sizeType = GetString("Ecom:Product:Field.SizeType");
                    }
                    @if (groupParent != null)
                    {

    $('input[name="EcomOrderLineFieldInput_EmployeeName"]').val($(".js-employee option:selected").data("employee-name"));

    //Create selector for active price table.
    str2 = "div[id='" + str.slice(0, -1) + "']"

    //Hide and display prices for other than active price table.
    $(".js-variant-price").hide();
    $(str2).show();
}

$(".js-employee").change(employeeSelect);
$(".js-employee").change(variantSelect);
$(".js-variant-select").change(variantSelect).trigger("change");

Well this worked very well!

My second obstacle is that I need some sort of managment module for the users assigned to a "department admin".

So an admin can go to a page where he can add, remove and update the users for his department. I was looking at the "list" view in the Extranet app with "list_groups_users template, but I'm not sure how to tweak it to my needs. Can I get this to get the current users group instead of having to define the group in backend?

I do not want the user to have to login in to backend, it should be able to be done from "my page.

So is there a way to have a frontend user permissions to edit other frontend users?

Any ideas?

Hi Bjørn,

Can't you make all admins belong to an "Admins" group that have access to that page? Currently we cannot set permissions on a page based on a Smart Search nor a User Repository nor have a group be auto-updated based on a Smart Search (although you can sort-of do it manually), but currently that seems the way to do.

When accessing that page, you can use the API to add/remove users from the "Current" group the admin belongs to.

Yeah thats sort of what i was thinking as well, I just don't really know where to begin. I have a "group admin" for each group.

When accessing that page, you can use the API to add/remove users from the "Current" group the admin belongs to.

Do you have some sort of code example? I know how to get the user group and related users, but what code do I use to update/add/remove users in same group?

Hi Bjørn,

You need to instanciate a user you want to update by using GetUserById http://doc.dynamicweb.com/api/html/8ab67c99-1342-82dc-4844-eb7ba1418117.htm

Once you've done that you can use the RemoveFromGroup method http://doc.dynamicweb.com/api/html/dadaff29-d870-8e34-5f82-ac112cecbbfe.htm with the current group as parameter. 

Save the user and you're done! (You may be removing the user's only/last group, so you may also need to consider that to leave it like that or delete him as well).

You may want to do this in an ajax call/handler for a better UX, or simply redirect to the same page with some parameters to trigger the logic and then again to reload the page without the URL parameters, or even to a confirmation page.

If you want to invite/add users to the group, it may be trickier since you need to search for existing ones first before adding one.

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Is there not a more "readymade" way accessing users?  It's easy to edit the current user, so I would guess that all the needed functionality already exist..

I have access to the users in the same group or subgroup as an group admin. I can get all the information from the user, now I would like to set / change. Any ideas?

Hi Bjørn,

I don't know of any better way to get the data you need with the logic in your requirements. That said, I would not have build it the way you have though.

• I would do all user updates through ajax
  Thus simplifying the markup by not having the form and fields to be submitted, and providing a better UX since you can control alerts/updates in JS raher than a page refresh
• I would split the "edit user" from the "edit users in my groups and departments
