How can I find out the groups associated with a user that isn't the one logged in currently?
For instance, I want to grab the value of my submitter field and look up the submitter's group list. I am not logged in as the submitter.
if inGroup(username,"Piper_Admins") then

Can you add a user to multiple groups in one login?
No. A user can only belong to one group max. In the UI you can only select one and via API you can only specify one group_id.
Yes. You can add a user to multiple groups at a time provided your application separates your Authorization logic.
For eg, If you have 3 groups i.e., Customer, Manager and Administrator then the customer must have a different login interface where only customers can login, the manager must have a different login interface where only managers can login and so on. This can be achieved but it consists of lot of code related tweaks to be done.
But the recommended approach is that to assign a user to one specific group and manage the permissions at group level.
I have an existing notification feed, but I'm looking at possibly migrating over to GetStream.
Currently, I'm using Laravel Notifications, to notify users and other objects.
I currently have something like the following:
1) Users
2) Groups
3) Group Members
So, when I CRUD a group, I simply notify all members of the group and also the group ($group->notifications returns a collection), which works fine.
Looking through the GetStream docs though, it seems there is a concept of 'followers'.
Does this mean, that all members of a group need to be followers of each other to see all notifications?
What about other objects, like, retrieving a feed for a Group? Do i need another Group Type in the dashboard to save activities to?
So, If I Person A and Person B are members of Group 1, When Person A saves Group 1, I'd like Person A, to see something like:
You saved Group 1
and Person B will see:
Person A saved Group 1
When I view the Group page, I'd like to pull in the activities that have happened to that Group.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Does this mean, that all members of a group need to be followers of each other to see all notifications?
Probably not. Stream allows you setup feed groups, following relationships, and use "targeting" to send activities to different feeds.
Based on the use case you described, you're probably best off with two Feed Groups, e.g. group and user_timeline. You can give each user their own user timeline feed and set it to follow other group feeds as appropriate.
When a user does something involving the group, an activity can be added to the group feed. This activity then propagates out to all users who follow the group.
What about other objects, like, retrieving a feed for a Group? Do i need another Group Type in the dashboard to save activities to?
You can always create multiple feed groups for a given app. The example with two groups is probably sufficient for your use case but you could go further with 3 groups...
user: User events posted to this feed. This feed will handle specific and non-group specific activities. If the activity relates to a group, the "to" field can be populated with the group feed name and this will cause the activities to be copied to that feed (and in turn propagated to it's followers).
user_timeline: Retrieved by users. Follows group feeds. User's may also follow another user's user_timeline feed in order to receive all events by that user (e.g. an asymmetrical follow like Twitter / or symmetrical follow like Facebook)
group: Receives user generated activities via the 'to' targetting. System/admin generated activities may also be add directly to the feed.
I haven't been able to get this to work and don't think it will but thought I'd ask just in case.
I have a security Group. Instead of putting user names in the Members field, I put email addresses.
I added the email addresses to the users' 'user name' field in their Domino Directory user document.
I added the security group to a database's ACL then assigned it a role.
I create a form which displays a user's role and the role does not show up.
If I put the user's name in the security group Members fields, the role does show up.
Has anyone done this before?
thanks,

Decided to open a PMR on the issue and IBM confirmed that you CAN'T do this.
I am new to Netsuite.
While creating accounts on Netsuite, I found that i can create multiple accounts with same email ID (Netsuite does not check whether the email id is unique or not).
Is there any specific scenario where creating multiple accounts with same email ID will be useful in Netsuite ?
You can associate one email address to multiple Netsuite account. When you login it will redirect you to a window where you can select the account where you want to use the existing login session.
No, It doesnt add or make any advantages to administration at all. You SHOULD NOT associate two separate employees with the same Email ID. Besides, when you set the same email to be associated across different places, it will force logout the current user when the next user attempts to login.
Advantage for the user for sure as they have access to all the roles associated to employee, customer, and partner records associated to their email address. Definitely no advantage for NS administration. If you are looking to do scalable things for implementation, then you need to do mass updates within netsuite across entities...don't try to use a single email placeholder as a shortcut for users or access as this gets derailed by the logout mechanism I mentioned above. If you absolutely need multiple users to have access, you could do something like a limited partner or customer center role to an employee that can act as a parent for all assigned customers within their territory...but that basically is manipulating the system to work differently than intended and could be considered a violation of NS TOS...I would suggest to avoid this as it could mean they could shut off your account and access to your customization.
I am editing user security and am trying to give a user access to an e.List item. I select the user using the [...] button and successfully find that user by searching in our AD domain.
After I select the user and press OK, that user does not come into the CAC, just this error The filter will only accept groups and roles. Users will not be added to the filter. I don't see any filters here at all.
Have you seen this before and is it possible to set up security by users?
Thank you,

Answer from ericlfg on http://www.cognoise.com/community/index.php/board,15.0.html:
Hi William,
The message you are receiving is by design. In order to add a specific user, rather than a group or role, that use needs to be a member of some kind of hierarchy in your security provider.
Ex: If you're using cognos groups and roles with a Role called "Test". You would populate this test role with members from your namespace. In the CAC, you would then select the Test group when you click on the elipsis and then that will allow you to select your individual user (or alternatively the Test role).
The same would be true if you're trying to add members directly from your 3rd party authentication provider. The individual users need to be part of a roll-up role or group in order to add that roll-up role or group to the filter. Once added to the filter you can select the individual users.
Hope this helps.
