You could put the group name in each user name (joe-network) then use the FIND_STRING tag. You would still edit the pages like you discussed below,but you would not have to edit every page every time a user changes.
It would be nice to know what you end up with. -----Original Message----- >From: "Bryan Frye" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: 4/9/04 7:15:39 AM >To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] User Groups > >What I'm trying to do with this setup is this. > >I want to have different user groups such as networking, server group, >application group, etc... > >Now I can get individual users assigned to different maps just fine, >but instead of just displaying different maps, it would be great to be >able to direct them to a different page altogether (all our users use >the web interface).
