Using Xbasic to add a new user to the security framework ...

[drgarytraub]

I have taken this from the help file, and it does not seem to work. I want to add a new user to the web security, and I have put the following code into an a5w page:

dim request.variables.userid as c
dim request.variables.email as c
dim request.variables.password as c

request.variables.userid = session.userid
request.variables.password = session.password

dim request.variables.groups as c
request.variables.groups = "Administrators,EnterEditButNoDelete,ViewOnly"


dim output as p
dim output.controls as p
dim output.controls.guid.value as c


dim result as p
dim error_message as c
dim group_list as c
result = a5ws_Save_User_Values(output,request)

if result.errors = .T. then
error_message = result.error_text
end
end if

user_guid = output.controls.guid.value

Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: Using Xbasic to add a new user to the security framework ...

The code does work as shown if the session variables have values and those values meet the validation rules in the security settings. What are you seeing that suggests it isn't working?

All of the current security functions are now in the help and a list can be found here.

You may also want to review some new security functions that are a little easier to use.

A5WS_Get_WebUser_Values()
A5WS_Validate_WebUser_Values()
A5WS_Save_WebUser_Values()

Hi Jerry,

I was running the code, and it seemed to run, but the user is not being added to the security.

But, I will now study your comments, and the new functions you mentioned.

Thanks so much for replying.
