Hi Rami, Do you mean hiding the requests in a view (Advanced search)? Or hiding a section in the form? Regards, Eddy. ---

Hi Eddy, I mean giving access or deny for participates on the requests at their WFG Portal Baskets (such as :My Action to do or Team to do list) based on data filled by requester In another meaning : filter and distribute the requests based on form data that filled by requester Best regards Rami Tobasi ---

Hi Rami, In the action’s information section, you can use the “Retrieve users from” option to filter who handles the action. If the data in the “Retrieve users from” option is either empty or contains invalid usernames, the action will be assigned to the team (Action to do list) otherwise, it will be assigned to the specified usernames. ![43%20PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/workflowgen/original/1X/6be89ff08ca8c1fe048a458442b9bd596b796eea.png) You can create a hidden field (in this example, it’s called HIDDEN\_USERNAME) and populate it with the usernames desired, depending on the data value chosen. Regards, Eddy. ---

Hi Rami, We only have the option “Retrieve users from” and that option only accepts usernames and not groups. Regards, Eddy. ---

We usually add a system action using GetUsersFromDir WFG application to get the user list based on specific group, then pass the user list result to the follow action that can use the “Retrieve users from” option
