What are you asking? Are you asking how to assign a group to a user? Please elaborate.

I have feeling he likes to find out which groups a user belongs to, in that case there is a very nice download available just for such purposes

Security Viewer is another great tool for that.

Thanks Shoaib was what I asking for.
I’ll try to explane you what I need, but for me in english is not simple.

I have a dahboard whit a button that opens a java application.
I have two groups, A and B.
If the user belongs to the group A the button opens the application A, and if the user belongs to the group B the button opens the application B.

I need a subroutine that can say me what is the group the user belong to, so the button can opens the right application.

The code insight the excel file is really what I need, how can I translate this to be useful for me?

Thanks,
Ale.

If you are writing code to interact with BO, you must be using the SDK.

The examples go through managing users and groups.

I’m sure you can work it out… I think you want to use the interface iUser on the infoview object.
