Redirect a specific role to SP portal with spentrypage

[gjb]

I had a requirement to redirect a user with 1 specific role and no other roles to the sp portal. So if a user has role x and no other role, then redirect to sp. If it has x and other roles, then redirect to backend.

properties that need to be edited:
glide.entry.page.script
value: new SPEntryPage().getLoginURL()
glide.entry.first.page.script
value: new SPEntryPage().getFirstPageURL()

the SPEntryPage() is an OOB script included that contains 2 functions; getLoginURL and getFirstPageURL

For this requirement I have added a piece of code in the getFirstPageURL function.

her is the code

	getFirstPageURL: function() {
		var session = gs.getSession();
		this.logProperties('before', session);

		// has roles and is not a Service Portal page - go to UI16
		var nt = session.getProperty("nav_to");
		var isServicePortalURL = new GlideSPScriptable().isServicePortalURL(nt);
		var redirectURL = session.getProperty("login_redirect");
		
		//check if the role you want to send to portal is only role
		var splitting = gs.getUser().getRoles().toString();
		var arSplit = splitting.split(',');
		
		//if user has roles, normally redirect to backend
		if (user.hasRoles() && !redirectURL && !isServicePortalURL){
			if(arSplit.length == 1 && splitting.indexOf('YOU_ROLE_to_CHECK') > -1){ //if its the only role, we dont return, we redirect to sp. which is done at the bottom of the page. which is the oob code
			//do nothing
			}else{ //if specific role is not the only role then continue as normal
				return;
			}
		}

		// user may have logged in from a frame, the /login_redirect.do page will bust out of it
		if (!redirectURL) {
			// redirectURL is nav_to 
			// if nav_to == "welcome.do" then use starting_page
			var sPage = session.getProperty("starting_page");
			if (sPage && nt == "welcome.do")
				nt = sPage;
			
			// Avoid a redirect loop to the home page
			var ep = gs.getProperty("glide.login.home");
			if (nt) {
				if (ep == nt)
					nt = null;
			}

			 // PRB726860: if page is still welcome.do, go to glide.login.home preserving frameset
			if (nt == "welcome.do") {
				session.putProperty("nav_to", ep);
				return;
			}
			
			session.putProperty("login_redirect", nt || "true");
			return "/login_redirect.do?sysparm_stack=no";
		}

		session.clearProperty("login_redirect");
		var returnUrl = this.portal;
		if (redirectURL && redirectURL != "true") {
			var spUrl = new GlideSPScriptable().mapUrlToSPUrl(redirectURL);
			returnUrl = spUrl ? this.portal + "?" + spUrl : redirectURL;
		}

		this.logProperties('after', session);
		if (this.logVariables) {
			gs.log('redirectURL: ' + redirectURL);
			gs.log('User: ' + user.getName());
			gs.log('is internal: ' + (!user.hasRoles()));
			gs.log('returnUrl: ' + returnUrl);
		}

		return returnUrl;
	},

	logProperties: function(beforeOrAfter, session) {
		if (!this.logVariables)
			return; 
		
		gs.log('SPEntryPage: Redirect ------------------------------- ' + beforeOrAfter);
		gs.log('session.starting_page: ' + session.getProperty("starting_page"));
		gs.log('session.nav_to: ' + session.getProperty("nav_to"));
		gs.log('session.login_redirect: ' + session.getProperty("login_redirect"));
		gs.log('gs.fURI: ' + session.getURI());
	},
	
	type: 'SPEntryPage'

this can obviously be changed to many specific needs. I hope this will give you some ideas how to use the spentrypage script include.

Kind Regards,

i need to check for the new HR client roles and no other roles they need to go to /ESC.

There seem to be two specifically:

• sn_hr_core.hrsm_employee
• sn_hr_sp.hrsp_employee

If any user has one or both of these roles only they should be directed to /esc

If they have either of the above, both or none and any other roles they should go to UI16
