Case : Only users in SUPERVISIOR security group should be able to add new meters to locations.

• Navigate to Conditional expression manager and create a new condition like below
• Condition : nonsupervisior
• Type : Expression
• Expression : (:&USERNAME& not in (select userid from groupuser where groupname='SUPERVISIOR'))
• Always Evaluate : Y

• Navigate to Application designer , search for Location application and create a new sigoption
• Option : locationmeter
• Desc : Location Meter sigoption
• Visible : Y
• Click ok.
• Now click on the ‘new row’ button in Meter tab and go to its properties
• In advanced tab , add Signature Option as ‘locationmeter’
• Click on ‘Configure Conditional Properties’  and add the following
• Security group : EVERYONE
• Condition : nonsupervisior
• Condition is False à mxevent : addrow
• Condition is true à  property : display

        Value : false

• Now navigate to security groups and search for ‘SUPERVISIOR’ security group à application : location and grant access to

Similar can be performed for delete button also.
