    Hi All,
    I have created a new custom Tab in User Request form and this tab captures some confidential information in a custom class. I want this Tab to be displayed only for a particular user and hidden for all other users. Any advice?.
    Other question is can we Hide Configure List option from a particular class. We have some confidential information captured in the some custom field on User Request and those are kept hidden but users are able to view by adding filed in their configure list option. By this there is no purpose of hiding fields.

    There is no secure mean to handle confidential field within an object which can be viewed by people not allowed to see the restricted field. Better put those restricted fields in a separate object which users are not allowed to see.

      Actually it would be a very handy enhancement of iTop. I've come accross some use cases already and I'm trying to implement something like it.

    Hello Lalit,

    As you coed the tab and it's content, you can choose to display parts of its content or not. Do you want to check regarding a user name or a user profile?

      Hi Guillaume,
      Yes, I want to apply a restriction first on Profile level and later Submitter of that record in the custom class.
      As an example if person has specific user profile (like Private Log) he should be able to see and create record from tahat tab. And later only he can view records created by him.
      Checking regarding a user name or a user profile would be helpfull i think?
      Hope you understood.
