Restricting access (visiblity) of specific layouts

[Jarvis]

Is there a way to restrict the visibility of certain layouts?

I would like to control this at the password protection level but I don't particularly want the statement "RESTRICTED" to be readily apparent.

(Less politics).

Can this be done without deleting the layout tab from view?

Thanks,

Jarvis

Use the Groups function to block access, although that will display the <<access denied>> badge. If you script all layout navigation, you can test for Status (CurrentLayoutAccess)

=0. THis means the password is a member of a Group that lacks access privileges to that layout. If it does, then you can display a custom message and send the user elsewhere.

I am wanting to make a custom layout/screen for users who do not have access to a particular layout. I have a button that runs a script to go to a certain layout. I want to make it so authorised users can see the layout, and others will see a custom layout saying they cant access it with a back to main menu button, instead of the "No Access" default screen. I went into the script definition for the button's script, and can not find the

Status(CurrentLayoutAccess) feature.

Can anyone offer any tips?

thank you
