    <p>I wanted to know if there's a way to hide list or library row items based on the content of a specific column. </p> <p><strong>Here is a use case scenario:</strong> </p> <p>I have a list or library of any kind, I have a column called <em>Permissions</em>, within that column I can specify one of two group name types as strings, e.g "Owners" or "Visitors". Afterword, I have conditions that go through each individual row item in the list or library and base the visibility of that row item on the string content of the <em>Permissions</em> column.</p> <p><strong>Row Visibility Logic Pseudo:</strong></p> <pre><code>If( current_row.Permissions_Col.Content == LoggedInUser.Group_Name) Show this row Else Hide this row </code></pre> <p>Is it possible do accomplish this either through the Sharepoint web interface or programmitcally in Sharepoint Designer or Visual Studio?? Insight is appreciated.</p> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>Thanks all for the feedback, just to clarify the motivation for this is our document structure and security/permissions layer is very dynamic, so we can't create a static hierarchy in SharePoint. Instead we want to have one single library pool of resources which are filtered on the fly based on the Group membership of the currently logged in user. We want to treat the <em>Permissions</em> column content as metadata to describe who can view this row's data. </p> <p>My apologies, but another requirement I neglected to mention is that when the logged-in user tries to upload a file or create a new element (i.e. List, Library, Folder, Form, etc.) in SharePoint, permissions get set automatically for the user's group and for "Owners". The only exceptions to this condition would be "Owners". So the pseudo is something like this:</p> <p><strong>File Upload / Item Creation Logic:</strong></p> <pre><code>If( (creatingElement OR uploadingFile) AND LoggedInUser.Group_Name != "Owners") { SET Permissions_Col.Content to LoggedInUser.Group_Name; SET read permissions for LoggedInUser.Group_Name and full control for "Owners"; } </code></pre>

    2. CO@Stefan Item level permissions doesn't accomplish that. Item level permissions only filters whether or not non-authors can see/edit the author's list items.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
