How to configure Tab conditional show based on both user and who is displayed

We have set up 6 access levels in Joomla and I want to restrict who can see the connection request tab to those who are at or above the displayed users level.

I have already read the doc's and watched the tutorials, but I can't translate them to the tab configuration.

This does not work:
Field: Value
Custom Value: user="#displayed" viewaccesslevel
Translate Custom Value: No
Operator: Less Than or Equal To
Value: user="#me" viewaccesslevel
Translate Value: No

I also tried just "viewaccesslevel" on last Value there.

I am guessing what the values are from the documentation about -
[cb:if PARAMETER="REPLACEMENT"]TEXT/CODE[/cb:if]

, and the construct 'user="#displayed" username="test"' shows username of #displayed.

Best I can suggest is something like the below.

Field: Value
Custom Value: [cb:if user="#me" viewaccesslevel includes "VIEWACCESSLEVEL_ID_HERE"]ALLOWED[cb:else]DENY_USER[/cb:else][/cb:if]
Operator: Equal To
Value: [cb:if viewaccesslevel includes "VIEWACCESSLEVEL_ID_HERE"]ALLOWED[cb:else]DENY_DISPLAYED[/cb:else][/cb:if]

This should allow the tab to display if both users have that view access level. Simply replace VIEWACCESSLEVEL_ID_HERE with whatever view access level you're trying to check against. See the substitution tutorial below for further substitution usage information.

OK, that sent me in the right direction. I had to test numerous values tho - not sure why that field supports only a subset of what's in the CB substituions document.

So I eventually realized the VIEWACCESSLEVELS is a list of GROUP ID's, and my group id's ( as I eventually defined them ) are not consecutive, ie, I have 5 levels allowed to see the tab - 4,5,6,16,17.

If anyone else is interested in using multiple levels, this worked for me:

I set Display = Tab conditional hide, and then added 4 OR'd rows like this:

Field: Value
Custom Value: [cb:if user="#displayed" viewaccesslevel includes "5"]5[cb:else]4[/cb:else][/cb:if]
Operator: Greater Than
Custom Value: [cb:if user="#me" viewaccesslevel !includes "5"]4[cb:else]5[/cb:else][/cb:if]

-> so, basically, each 2nd if ( note: NOT includes ) test changes to show maximum access level of the Viewer.

But now, instead of showing the Connection Path, I'd really just like a color-changing button that says either "Connected" or "Request Connection".

I also noticed this Tab Configuration is not changing what CB Menu shows...

You should be able to add the OR case directly to the substitution. Example as follows.

[cb:if user="#displayed" viewaccesslevel includes "4" or viewaccesslevel includes "5"]5[cb:else]4[/cb:else][/cb:if]

Once the View Access Level and Usergroup conditions can be based off the viewing users and/or the displayed user this will be easier to configure as you won't need the substitution usage at all.

The Connections and Connections Path tab has no control over the menu item. There is no ACL for limiting who can connect at this time.
