Hello,

please take a look at the <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/doclib-web-tier.html">official documentation</a> and this <a href="wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Document_Library_Predefined_Evaluators">wiki page about predefined evaluators</a> to familiarize yourself on the evaluator approach and how out-of-the-box evaluators have been implemented, which should give you a fairly good idea how to solve your requirement.
Hint: Your evaluator needs to call the repository (see RemoteClient / ConnectorService) to retrieve all members of a configured group and check if the current user is contained therein.

Regards
Axel

Hi AFaust,
Thanks for your replay..
how can I pass my group name to evaluator.
Is there any way with in the evaluator tag(like any attribute which takes the string value as parameter).

Thanks in advance.

You can pass it this way


 <bean id="custom.evaluator.doclib.action.isMyGroupManager" parent="evaluator.doclib.action.groupMembership">
      <property name="groups">
         <list>
            <value>YourGroupName</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>

You can use one I have posted to achieve your requiremnt. Why it is necessary to pass it in Evaluator tag?

HI all,

I have a similar requirement,
to only show certain action to administrator and my group only.
here's my custom evaluator


<bean id="my.evaluator.doclib.action.isManager" parent="evaluator.doclib.action.groupMembership">
         <property name="relation" value="OR" />
         <property name="groups">
            <list>
               <value>GROUP_ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS</value>
               <value>GROUP_DOCUMENT_CONTROLLER</value>
            </list>
         </property>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

this works fine for alfresco administrators group but it doesn't work for document controller group that I created.
any clue where I did wrong??

thanks in advance.
