Prevent record save based on condition

Hi!

I have a cusstom module based on case template and I need to prevent record edit for some user roles based on condition.

Condition is: if the field “status” is different than “new” no record edit is allowed to certain user role.

Admin or some other roles should be able to edit record.

I tried using workflow, but could not acchieve this.

I would really appreciate some help on this…

Have a great day!

I don’t know, but if you can add/remove security groups to a record via a Workflow, you could make it like this:

  • when status changes to “new” add security group X
  • when status changes to different from “new” remove security group X
  • configure roles so that edits are only allowed on X records

I didn’t try any of this, I’m just thinking as I write.

If this turns out to be impossible, you’ll have to write some code. I would look for the Security Suite code that does the “edit” check, and try to add that condition there.
