"a5_add_new_user()" problem

[jim_s]

Need a sanity check here pls. I am trying to use function "a5_add_new_user()" but having issues. I get a "ERROR: Argument is incorrect data type" when I try this in both a grid function and the interactive window.

I have deleted all the security tables and security settings files a couple of times JIC and re-enabled web security in a5 after the delete. I have turned off the user ID validation and set the password min. length to 1, etc. I put a master password on the database per the documentation.

I am able to create users fine using the web security dialog - but I need to be able to do it in code.

Here's a sample of the code for the interactive window (based on wiki example plus I added alltrim() based on some posts about extra spaces causing issues):

? a5_add_new_user(alltrim("password"),alltrim("user1"),alltrim("password1"))

In the code completion, the "Groups" list shows as an optional parameter. On the wiki, it's not an optional parameter. Any which way, it's not working.

Heeelllppp...

"a5_add_new_user()" is used only for the desktop security system. A desktop application security system and the web security system are completely different and do not share anything between each other. You may want to reference these help links

Thx Jerry. Looks like "a5ws_Save_WebUser_Values" is just what I need.
