Finding users by not roles

[Manaus]

Hello,

I have a list where users can have two or more roles: guest+utente, guest+utente+superuser, guest

I need to find all users having 'utente' as role, but not admin, nor guest.

Tried this

$u = $users->find("roles*=utente");
$u = $users->find("roles=utente")->not("roles=superuser")->not("roles=guest");
$u = $users->find("roles!=superuser")->find("roles=utente");

But without success..

Thanks for any suggestion

How about

$u = $users->find("roles=utente, roles!=superuser|guest");

I confirm, trying with the Selector test modules, this is working : template=user, roles!=affiliate, roles=editor

Commas are the AND selector.

Thanks Soma and Pierre-Luc,

The query roles=utente, roles!=superuser|guest returns an empty array, I need to keep users having guest+utente, and exclude users who have utente+admin role (I don't think changing the password to a guest bears consequences, does it?)

Pierre already gave you an answer. What you want is an AND (,) condition not an OR (|) in your selector. So....

$u = $users->find("roles=utente, roles=guest");

should give you what you want...That means, find users who have utente AND guest role. 

Both types of selectors are documented in the docs OR  AND

Edit: Clarification...

See Pierre's post below. Above example is just for illustration and is somewhat redundant. All you need to search for is "utente" since everybody has a guest role....

Guest is a mandatory role for every users. Excluding guest will exclude all users. TLDR, never use !=guest.

Thanks guys,

sorry, late night, slow thinking

The suggestions above dont work in my case (PW 3.0.71).

I am using the following code to exclude all users which have the role "facebook-login".

$users->find("roles!=login-facebook");

But this shows all users, even users with the role "login-facebook", so it seems that "!=" (not) will not be accepted. Just to mention: my users have sometimes more than 1 role.

Does anyone know how to define a "not" in a find method.

Best regards Jürgen

 exclude all users which have the role "facebook-login".

$users->find("roles!=login-facebook");

Hello maxf5,

yep that was a copy/paste mistake in the previous post, but on my site I have used the right role name and it doesnt work at all. So its not the wrong order of the words. :-(

In opposition "roles=login-facebook" works.

I can confirm that I have the same issue. Not selector doesn't seem to have an effect.

Thanks @abdus,

I will wait for a while if someone posts another solution. Otherwise I will open a new Issue on Github.

Best regards

hey guys, try:

// replace 38 with the id of the user role, here 38 = superuser
$items = $users->find("roles!=38"); 
foreach ($items as $i) {
	// returns guest, superuser excluded
	echo $i->name; 
}

you will find the role-id in the url when you edit Admin > Access > Roles > guest, superuser, login-facebook,...

[Juergen]

Yes, the id of the role works, but I think this is not usual behavior that the name of the role works with "=" and not with "!=".

Anyway, thanks for the tipp!!!!!!!
