Hide button based on domain group

How can I hide a button (web form, IP2007) based on a domain group? Say I
have a security group called "hq\east coast" so that button should be
visible Only if a user is member of this group.

Hi,

For finding out user information, you can take a look at the following
lins:

Also, there is a UserName() function which you can use.

After fetching domain name, you can apply conditional formatting on
the button to make it visible / invisible.

Do let me know if you need any further info.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to use conditional formatting as "HQ\east
coast" group has more than 500 members and members keep on changing so
hiding the button based on "current user/userName()" is not a viable option
for me.

How about hiding the button based on a SharePoint group? If that is easy, I
can make my domain group member of the SharePoint group.
