Hello,
So i have a sheet when someone clicks a button and it shows the relevant hidden cells.

However i would like to restrict this to only approved people to have access to run this code.

Is it possible to have a list of users in 'Settings' sheet, and once the code is activated to run it or stop the code depending on the environ("username") list?

Thanks in advance.
Kyle
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
You could use something like
Code:
Sub KyleJackMorrison()
   Dim Nme As String
   Dim Fnd As Range
   Nme = Environ("username ")
   Set Fnd = Sheets("Settings").Range("A1:A100").Find(Nme, , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
   If Fnd Is Nothing Then
      MsgBox "You don't have authority"
      Exit Sub
   End If
   'your code goes here
End Sub
