How would I hide the "Back" button from non-globeadmin users?

Place this code in your form or (if needed for every form) in setup:

if (nuUserLogin()="" ){
nuHide('nuBackButton");
}

What Back Button do you mean.

Paul,

If you have an element called nuBackButton, you can use Jannie's code with a couple of changes...

if (nuUserLogin()!="globeadmin" ){
   nuHide("nuBackButton");
}

I tried that code (in the Browse custom code):

if (nuUserLogin()=="" ){
   nuHide("nuBackButton");
}

and logged in as a non-admin user and this is the result:

Paul,

Maybe you have no element called nuBackButton (it is case sensative).

You could check this by running this in the browser console (F12)...

   $('#nuBackButton').length

If this returns 0 there is no element with that ID.

Then this should work...

  $('#nuBackButton').hide()

BTW nuUserLogin() != 'globeadmin'

When placed in the custom code for Browse form, the code:

  $('#nuBackButton').hide()

does not hide the Back button for any user.
