I have a form where people will submit applications.. These will be reviewed and evaluated by user with the Administrator role..

I want to make a block of the fields only visible to Administrators..

Based on the page at https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-conditional-display-engine/ I tested using the following code within the form's body..

[cred_show_group if="(USER(‘role’) eq ‘administrator’)"]
HelloooOO Administrator!!
[/cred_show_group]

But it's not working..

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks

Ohh I found that I can use the GUI buttons to build what I needed. So that is resolved 🙂

But I'm still curious to know why my code above didn't work though, since it's in the documentation..

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - it looks like there is issue with the single quotes.

Could you please try to use following code and try to resolve your issue. Following code works for me just fine.

[cred_show_group if="( USER('role') eq 'administrator' )"  mode='fade-slide']
HelloooOO Administrator!!
[/cred_show_group]
