A field is to be editable only by certain groups and read only for the rest

Community Alums · ‎12-20-2023

Hi,

I have a scenario, on the sc_task form, a variable should be editable, if the logged in user belongs to certain group. I have written some part of the code. Kindly help.

Client Script

function onLoad() {

if (g_scratchpad.isMember == true)

   {
	g_form.
   }

}

Business Rule

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('TFS-ALABAMA') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('TFS-BIRMINGHAM (RC)') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('TFS-MID WEST'))

    {
        g_scratchpad.isMember = true;
    }

})(current, previous);

This is the variable to be remained editable for the following groups.

Regards

Suman P.

The scratchpad variable is used in conjunction with onLoad Client Scripts when the Business Rule is triggered on display of the record, so change When to run:

Also, the value needs to be a string to get passed to the client, and it's a good idea to always set a value to prevent any errors on the client, so change your BR script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {
    if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('TFS-ALABAMA') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('TFS-BIRMINGHAM (RC)') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('TFS-MID WEST')) {
        g_scratchpad.isMember = 'true';
    } else {
        g_scratchpad.isMember = 'false';
})(current, previous);

Then your Catalog Client Script would look like this:

function onLoad() {
    if (g_scratchpad.isMember == 'false') {
	    g_form.setReadOnly('variable_name', true);
    }
}

of course replacing variable_name with the name of your variable.

Hello @Community Alums ,

Step 1: Create a display Business rule with script as below on sc_task table.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
   
 if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('grp1 name') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('grp2 name') )

    {
        g_scratchpad.isMember = true;
    }

})(current, previous);

Now create a Onload catalog client script to hide the variable.

function onLoad() {
   
var test = g_scratchpad.isMember;

if(test ==true){
	g_form.setReadOnly('variable_name',true);
}
}

Kindly mark my answer as Correct and helpful based on the Impact.
