Permissions to a macro

[Neil Holden]

I have a button in excel, i want only certain users to be able to press it,
is they any way i can add permissions to the button?

Neil,

You could create a login userform and then use the username to determine
whether to enable or disable the command button. You could probably do the
same just using Windows username properties. I guess it depends on how large
your user base might be. I've used the login form method on several projects.

Neil,

You could do this but it's not secure. The variable S is a comma deleted
string of allowed users. If the active user isn't in the list then the sub
terminates

Sub Button1_Click()
S = "aaa,bbb,ccc"
v = Split(S, ",")
For x = 0 To UBound(v)
If Environ("username") = v(x) Then
allowed = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If Not allowed Then Exit Sub
MsgBox "OK"
'Your Code
End Sub
