If you disable 3 buttons for the 1e user, then the will also be disabled for the other users.

I'm using the ip address of a specific user (tablet living room vs tablet bed room) to do some different actions. For me, load a different floorplan for the different tablets as default.

With **ui\_control** you can get **Getchanges** and filter the ip address out with **msg.socketip**.

Maybe this can help you, have fun.
