    Hi Ya Teh,

    Maybe could you check some user information using - var userSettings = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings - Reference: docs.microsoft.com/.../usersettings

    Using this sample you can validate UserID, SecurityRoles or some other information to validate the current user.

    After it, based on validation is possible to apply setVisible on Business Process Flow using docs.microsoft.com/.../formcontext-ui-process.

    Another possibility is to use synchronous workflow to come back based on some validation, in this situation, the customer can change but system will revert it.

    Let me know if the information above is valid for your scenario.

    Hi Carlos,

    I did tried using formContext.ui.process however, this function seem is hide the whole business process flow control.

    What I want is to hide the button of each stage based on user validation.

    Hi Teh,

    Maybe you can't remove this button using a supported method, I need to research more about it.

    It's possible to use two ways to 'prevent' the customer move:

    a. On security role, if you uncheck to write on permission on business process flow.

       - In this scenario when the system user try to move, will receive an error message, based on permission insufficient.  

    b. Use a javascript funcion moveprevious based on this reference docs.microsoft.com/.../moveprevious.

     - In this scenario is need to use the function addonstagechange to check some changes on stage and moveprevious. To check addonstagechange, you could check this reference docs.microsoft.com/.../addonstagechange.

    Let me know if these information help you.

    function HideSetAcgtiveButton(executionContext) {

       var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

       formContext.data.process.addOnStageSelected(onStageClicked);

    }

    function onStageClicked(executionContext) {

       var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

    var hide = true;

    var interval = null;

    interval = setInterval(function () {

           var element = parent.document.getElementById("MscrmControls.Containers.ProcessStageControl-businessProcessFlowFlyoutFooterContainer");

           if (element != null && hide == true) {

               hide = false;

               element.style.display = "none";

               clearInterval(interval);

           }

       }, 10);
