Hi,

We are setting up a demo system and different teams will be using it. We want each team to be able to use the Construct webApp but without being able to see other team's data. We looked at "Use a custom WebApp with Construct" which solves the issue in ADM, however, each team would still be able to alter/access each other's data in the backend in SQL Server.

Hence, we recreated the table structure in SQL Server and a custom Construct_XX webApp in Admin (with Pages, Column properties, etc...), granted access to that custom Construct_XX webApp for a specific role and removed access from the original Construct webApp and it seems to work.

However, how can we replace the link of the "Construct" button in ADM with the custom created "Construct_XX" for the users assigned to that role?

  Hi Deli,

  The Vertical bar you see here is a toolbar view in Console database. The redirect page ID are maintained in apiContextBarSel table of Console database. Since the expectation in your case is it should navigate to the custom construct webapp, then the table's Construct column should be altered to datagrid.aspx?PageID=<PageID of Custom Webapp Static page>&Layered=false. This would take care of the redirection.

  Since these are Application tables, altering it would need sufficient privileges (contact your administrator) and this would be overwritten if there are upgrades.

   

  Regards,

  Hi Deli,

  For some additional context, that bar along the top of the screen is tied to the WebApp and is called the "Web App Toolbar". For custom WebApps, you can go to the Admin > WebApps page and then check the [Web App Toolbar View] setting on the vertical (Product Help).

  For delivered WebApps, you can use a query like this to identify the name of the [Web App Toolbar View].

  SELECT [WebAppID], [WebAppName], [WebAppToolbarView] FROM [CranSoft].[dbo].[WebApp]
