[rt-users] Allow only a specific user to see a Callback

[Potla, Ashish Bassaliel]

Try this in your condition and let me know :

if ($group->HasMemberRecursively($session{'CurrentUser'}->PrincipalObj)) {

Thanks Ashish -

I tried Tom suggestion but it does not seem to work either, the code:

my $group = new RT::Group($session{'CurrentUser'});
$group->LoadUserDefinedGroup('my_group');
if ($group->HasMemberRecursively($session{'CurrentUser'})) {
         $toptabs->{'My Callback'} = { title =>loc("My Callback"),
                         path  => "MyCallbacks/1/index.html" };
 }


User 'john' belong to 'my_group', but unfortunately he cannot see 'My
Callback', I 'm doing something wrong?

Thanks for the answers so far.

p.s: i always clean mason cache and restart apache process when testing.
I use RT 3.6.4

Cheers,
merou
