Business Access — Help & User Guide
Page: Users/BusinessAccess.aspx
Overview
- Purpose: list and manage users who have access to a selected Business. Supports search, select Business, view user list with status and creation date, and drill into per-user access via Manage Access.
- Files:
Users/BusinessAccess.aspx (markup) and BusinessAccess.aspx.cs (code-behind).
Quick start (end user)
- Search: Type a name into TxtSearch and press Enter or click BtnSearch. The page runs BtnSearch_Click.
- Select Business: Choose from DropDownListUserBusinesses; this triggers AutoPostBack and loads users for that Business.
- View users: The GridUsers shows First/Last name, Email, Status and Created date.
Click Manage Access (link lnkView) to open user-specific management (if enabled/wired).
- No results: LabelNoData displays “No users found.” when no users match the search/selection.

Client-side & keyboard behavior
- Enter key: inline
window.onload handlers attach Enter → click BtnSearch and set focus to TxtSearch. - Note: duplicate
window.onload blocks can override each other in some browsers.
It’s best practice to consolidate into one initializer and add visibility guards.
Troubleshooting checklist
Search not working
- Confirm
BtnSearch_Click exists and is wired in code-behind - Check that
TxtSearch.Text is used in the data query (partial matching recommended)
Business selector not loading users
- Verify
AutoPostBack="True" and DropDownListUserBusinesses_SelectedIndexChanged is implemented - Ensure code rebinds GridUsers after selection
Grid shows wrong data / unsorted
- Confirm sorting uses correct field names and grid is rebound after changes
- If using ViewState-based data, ensure it persists across postbacks (or refetch as needed)
Duplicate onload scripts
- Merge focus + Enter-key logic into a single initializer to prevent overrides
Security & validation
- Ensure only authorized users can view/manage the selected Business
- Validate all incoming IDs (Business/user IDs) belong to the currently authorized scope
- Parameterize all SQL/data queries (avoid string concatenation)
- Avoid exposing sensitive internal identifiers to the client unless required
Accessibility & usability notes (recommended)
- Add
aria-live="polite" to LabelNoData (or an error panel) so assistive tech announces updates - Ensure Manage Access link has a descriptive accessible name (include user name in title/aria-label)
- Add visible focus styles for keyboard users on grid links and buttons
What to include when contacting support
- Business selected
- Search term used
- Approximate time
- Screenshot of any error panel (if shown)
- Browser used and steps taken
