What is the processing order for Roles determination?

[Tim Philomeno]

I have a form with 5 roles. I have associated a single AD group with each
(1:1)...if I am a member of more than 1 of the AD groups, which role do I end
up being assigned in the form?...Given AD Roles ADA, ADB, ADC, ADD, ADE...and
form roles FA,FB,FC,FC,FE....I am a member of ADB and ADD, which form role do
I end up with?...I have to assume that there is a processing order here. Does
anyone know what it is or how to control it.

Greg,

And so in my example, does it stop at the 1st match (FB) or the last (FD?

 

[Tim Philomeno]

yes, that is exactly what it does...the 1st match in order of the dispalyed
roles is the one it takes and ignores the others....

Thanks!

It shouldn't be hard to test it out in your form. Please double check but I believe you would end up with FB (assuming that is higher up in the list than FD).

It is my understanding that the order of processing for form roles is top down as listed in the roles dialog box.
