Sharepoint Group Members as Infopath Role Members??

[cracki71]

Hello all!!

I would like to use sharepoint groups in my infopath-form.
is that possible??
In sharepoint, everything is a list. Also the memberlist of a sp-group???
so it should be possible to connect from my ip-form to the memberlist and
get them.
Then i could assign them to a infopath-group?

thanks in advance

Yes, if someone could please help. I have the same question. In my case, I
would like people in a certain SharePoint group to see one view of the form,
while everyone else sees another. Please help!

Yes I think it is possible

I don't have the time to look for it, but look in the folowing
direction:

- Get the Url of the SharePoint Webservice http://<MySite>/_vti_bin/UserGroup.asmx

- Add a data connection, receive data from Webservice given the
previous Url,
- Get the desired Webmethod
- Link a DropdownBox on the form to this new created DataConnection

- Go to Tools - Roles - Add
- Give the Role Name
- Select User Name of the Form
- Select 'User names from the form'
- Select the New created datasource
- select the fields

This is the way I would try.
If you manage to make it work, can you please post it also. As I
already wrote I can give only a direction as I don't have the time to
test this.
