We are working on writing rules for the Direct Reports link in MSS.  We've had ESS in for some time and my rule writing is a bit rusty, so I would appreciate any help with MSS.  I loaded the MSS delivered template and the rule for the Employee table  - if(user.isSupervisorOf(getIdFromEmpNbr(lztrim(table.COMPANY),lztrim(table.EMPLOYEE))))'ALL_ACCESS';else'NO_ACCESS'.  When I try to access one of my direct reports I get an error retrieving database records.  The rule seems straightforward so what am I missing?

Here is what we have and are doing just fine with it:
user.isInChainOfCmdOfEmpInHR(lztrim(table.COMPANY),lztrim(table.EMPLOYEE))

Thanks Barb, it worked like a charm. I'm curious, does anyone know the difference between the InChainOfCmd and isSupervisorOf?

Pretty much what it sounds like.
isSupervisorOf is the employee's direct supervisor.
InChainOfCmd is the employee's complete management chain-of-command.
We use the chain-of-command access for our MSS Personnel Action flows so that any manager in the chain has the same access.

Same access to the employee in question, that is.
In other words, the employee's supervisor, manager, director, vice president, COO, CEO - whatever the chain is if you follow the HR07 org path.
