formula field filtering?

Posted by Rollbase User on 13-Jun-2013 07:58

I am trying to use a formula field of type/return type string. The formula looks up all users at administrator level and returns the desired field from each user in one big string to populate the field. The desired value: all emails of all administrator level logins. Actual return value: No emails or all emails as desired. The difference between the two is the desired value only results when the current user is of the administrator level. If the user is under the administrator level and tied to a lesser group, they do not see the emails. Is there a way to make the desired set of values regardless of current logged in user and/or save that value for lesser grouped users if there is no way for them to do it. private cloud binary 4.0.8

Just to post some additional information on this problem, as I am familiar with the project.



We are referring to the LDF security layer. It seems like something has changed in the 4.0.8 binaries with respect to triggers running under an account. The situation looks like this:



1. User updates a record via AJAX API call.

2. The AJAX API call causes a trigger to fire.

3. The trigger references a formula field on the same object that compiles a list of related user account email addresses.

4. The email addresses are used in the TO line of an email template.



Before we upgraded to the 4* series of binary updates, the behavior was as expected. Regardless of what account you are logged under, the email list was always the same. Now it seems the list of emails returned by the formula will change based on the security settings of the user that causes the AJAX API call in (1) above.



Can you think of something that would have changed since the 3.9.0 binary to explain the results we are getting?
