How to script if user is a member of a group?

[Robert Campbell]

The overall task is to give access to a field if the person viewing the record is the creator or a member of the assigned group.

I've commented out line by line to see if I can get anything to work.  Right now, this is saying if the current user is a member of the current Assigned group then the condition is true, if I'm correct.

/*if(current.sys_created_by.equals(gs.getUserName())) {
	answer = true;
}else*/ if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group)){
	answer = true;
}/*else if(current.assigned_to.equals(gs.getUserName())){
	answer = true;
}*/else{
	answer = false;
}

As you can see from the Security Debugging, this is false.  So maybe it's coded wrong.  The Requires role has the role that the user I'm testing with belongs to.

Hi

Create a display Business rule with script as. Place the below script between function templates in script body.

g_scratchpad.grp = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('PASS GROUP NAME HERE');  

Now update the client script as

function onLoad() {

  var usr = g_user.getUserID();

  var gate = g_form.getValue('u_field');

  if (gate == 'true' && !g_scratchpad.grp){

      g_form.removeOption('state', '3'); //closed complete

      g_form.removeOption('state', '4'); //closed incomplete

      g_form.removeOption('state', '7'); //closed skipped

    }

}

I haven't tried all suggestions yet but it seems that some are posting the same thing I'm already doing.  This is my updated script:

if(current.sys_created_by == gs.getUserID()){
	answer = true;
}else if(current.sys_create_by == gs.getUserName()){
	answer = true;
}else if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group)){
	answer = true;
}else if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group.name)){
	answer = true;
}else{
	answer = false;
}

The task I am viewing is created by the user I'm using AND is assigned to the team that the user is a member of.  The field is still read-only.  If I remove the script, bc the user has the role, they are able to edit the field but they need to have the role AND match the conditions laid out by the script.

I will try other suggestions now.
