report_on ACL ► record identification in script

[66]

Hi Everyone,

I have an ACL-related problem, which I can't solve after a long time of trying, but I hope there are others here who have more experience on the subject.

Situation: I want to create an ACL:

• type: record,

• operation: report_on

• on the table (Name:) my_custom_contract, and None

• advanced true (checked) ─ script will be used

And in the script part, I simply want to specify that if the user can read the record, the script should return true for that record. So, in case of the my_custom_contract table, record by record, where the user can see the record, it should be enabled on report_on. Simple, right?
Unfortunately, not exactly. Report_on ACLs work a bit different than other ACLs, as I realized, and I can't use:

answer = current.canRead();

in the script, becuase `current` object in case of report_on type of ACLs refers to User(?) and not to the exact record to be examined.

And since `current` object seems to refer to the user rather than the record, causing `current.canRead()` to return undefined.

That's why the above code snippet does not work in this case.

If I log what the current is:

gs.log('► CURRENT object: ' + current);

the following will be logged:

► CURRENT object: com.glide.sys.User@a1436e2

(or similar, depending on the user).

How can I somehow still catch/define in the script the record itself (the actual record) that is currently running the report_on ACL on?

My aim would be that for each record that the report_on ACL passes through, it would check to see if that record can be read by the user, and if so, it would return true on report_on for that record.

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

P.S. I use Washington release

thank you All,
