Filter Members by Security

You can write a custom member list that gets all the members. Read through each member and get the Read and Write groups (I am assuming you are wanting this for the Entity dimension) then check if the current user is in those groups using the BRApi.Security.Authorization.IsUserInGroup call. As RobbSalzmann says, you will need to check if the user is an Administrator and if they have access to the AdministerApplication or ViewAllData roles.
Hi MarcusH ,
this would be really really slow, suppose I have hundreds/thousands of members and I want to populate a Combo: I should loop through all of them and, for each one, check their groups.
I suppose that, just like stated by RobbSalzmann , when you're not an administrator, returned data is natively filtered, so the problem I exposed is not actually a problem.
Thanks
