reject resource assignment based on group membership

Hi Lance,

Run the validation rule on the resource link with the specific criteria.

Good luck!

Thanks Tamir, but I was hoping you could help me formulate the criteria.  How do you get a reference to the resource and task entities?  How do you tell whether the resource entity is a member of a given group?

Create a Validation rule on the object Resource (All Links >> Assigned >> Resource) and for the evaluation criteria use:

not(isnull(GetLink('MembershipLink','YourUserGroup',$Resource)))      Replace YourUserGroup with the group you want to see if the resource belongs to.

Thanks Josh, I may have posted prematurely as I just discovered IsMemberOf(): does IsMemberOf('Contractors',$Resource) have the same effect as your condition, or do they differ subtly?

Yes that should work as well =)

Cool!  Thanks Josh
