Display user groups and privileges

[aRCo]

Hello world!

I'm trying to build with LabView a custom operator interface for TestStand. I've already realized a VI whose front panel contain a listbox where are displayed all available TestStand users (see attached file). Once selected a user by clicking on its name, it is displayed in the string control.

Now, besides displaying selected user name, I would like to display: in a listbox, the list of groups (Administrator, Operator, ...) to which selected user belongs; in another listbox, the list of privileges owned by selected user.

How can i do this?

Thanks

Hi,

try to consider this KB, this forum post and this one for some examples.

I hope this will help!

Bye!

Thanks LiciaP!

Following your suggestions too, i succeeded doing what i wanted.

See attached VI for the solution. Considering that i'm a novice, i ask if someone can check the block diagram in order to suggest code organization improvements.

You need to ask in the LabVIEW forum.

Hi,

Just a few points.

When I run your VI and pressed the Exit button I received a number of not released objects message:-

References to PropertyObjects were not released properly.
    Total number of objects: 3
    Number of top-level objects: 3

    Note: Some top-level objects may be included if they are referenced by
    an incorrectly released top-level object. For example, an unreleased
    SequenceContext object references a SequenceFile object.

    The following top-level objects were not released:

        PropertyObjects [3 object(s) not released]
            PropertyObject #1:
                Name: Members
                Type: Array of Strings

            PropertyObject #2:
                Name: Members
                Type: Array of Strings

            PropertyObject #3:
                Name: Members
                Type: Array of Strings

Basically your while loop was iterating for 4 but I only had 2 users setup, therefore the GetNumElements was 0 for 3 of the groups which generated 3 PropertyObjects which were not released because the for loop wasn't being performed.

So I have put the for loop in a case statement (see attached)

You have a number of GetEngine calls which you could aviod using by just passing the Engine reference in from the Initial GetEngine.

You have a string array in a for loop and a const controlling the number of iteration, use the size of the string array to do that job

Not sure why you have 2 Operator entries in the Groups array as you stop the loop at the first one.

Hi,

I had a little play with your example (this was using LabVIEW 8.6)
