User Selector form control filtering by Role or Department

Mark Elliott asked on January 14, 2015 17:34

In the form controls when setting up a data type there is the option to use a User Selector. This lists every user of the site which is great but is there a way to filter that list to only show users within a given role/department? Say for example to only show users that are in the Marketing or Communications department.

Try UniSelector control with Object type = CMS.User and Return column = UserID. There is a field where you can enter where condition or some macro to filter users out.

Roman,

Thanks! That works great. We are new to Kentico and hadn't used the UniSelector control before. Very nice.

I have a question regarding the UniSelector: if our site requires staging and web farms, do we need to have UserGUID as the return column, or will the UserID automatically be resolved for each environment?

I'm not sure. We don't use a staging server or a web farm environment so have not encountered this issue. Perhaps Roman would be able to address it.
