Limiting Data Modification Functionality Based on the User:
Step 1-Allowing the User to Specify their Access Rights
This VIDEO TUTORIAL and series of upcoming steps will demonstrate on how to implement to limit data modification functionality based on a particular user’s access. In other words, this video will elaborate on how to restrict access to modify particular supplier information based on the selection of a supplier in the drop down list on a web page. The suppliers’ dropdown list will include a list item that states ‘Show/Edit All Suppliers’ in addition to the list of remaining individual suppliers. If the end user selects Show/Edit All supplier’s list item, then he or she would have access to modify all the suppliers. However, if the end user selects a particular supplier from the dropdown list, then he or she would have access to modify only that particular supplier’s information. The step 1 of this video tutorial demonstrates this scenario by adding a Dropdown list and DetailsView control to the ‘UserLevelAccess.aspx’ page of ‘EditInsertDelete’ folder.
