How to use Custom Labels in Trigger

Hi, I need to add a list of users to a Cusom Label. I then need to reference this label to allow only users in Custom Label the ability to write data into a custom object using a trigger . I'm new to Apex and Salesforce. Please assist. Thanks.

Account[] accList = [SELECT Id, LastModifiedBy FROM Account LIMIT 1];
if (accList != null  &&  accList.size() > 0) {
  Account acc = accList[0];
  if (System.Label.YOUR_CUSTOM_LABEL_NAME == acc.LastModifiedBy) {
    // Do whatever you want to do here.
  }
}

labels can be referenced as $Label.(whatever the label name is)

Hi,

You can use custom label like below:

string customLabel = label.<your custom label name>;
system.debug('=============label '+customLabel );

Thank you Matthew and Naman. Is there a way I could compare the "lastmodifiedby" field for a record  with the values in Custom Label. Is there a query I could use? I need to use Apex.

Hi,

Are you concatenating the User names in comma separated fashion in custom label? If so, Just split them in code and put them in a set. Query on User object based on the last modified by Id to fetch the name. Use set.contains() to find the occurence of User name in set.
