Could it be possible to add an email field to the User Table and of course the Edit User Item form?



Also make the DisplayAs field available as a property of SecurityBasics.CurrentUser instead of having to create the User's BO and query the BO to get this info. Frankly I would like to see all User's fields available as properties of SecurityBasics.CurrentUser, that shouldn't be difficult to implement unless there is a reason not to?

Exactly Edhy! The information panel in the browse dialog essentially allows you to do anything you need to, it just provides you with information/translations etc. from the main dialog. I'm thinking the same thing here. The SF framework would know nothing about what else might be going on (with good reason), just that there is a place for something to happen/be shown and there is a mechanism to share info out of the main dialog with the extended user info panel.

What I was suggesting is essentially the same thing. The only difference is that the developer is not creating a new security dialog then attaching a user info panel, but rather the security dialog is looking for the "User Information Panel" (a specialized user control similar to the browse info panel!) and adding it to itself (on the User Defined tab). Unless there is a a security dialog in the framework that I am missing somewhere.

Bill,



Exactly what I was proposing...guessed we just got our wires crossed (tried :electrocuted: but that didn't work). I'm suggesting that on the standard SF User dialog (the one were you create the user, set roles and/or permission), there would be the option to set a user info panel/control/thingy. Likely this would be done in the constructor and/or via a property. Putting on a tab is certainly an option and would work fine.
