Hi,
I want to see that the 'short description' of the 'incident' is editable only by the 'Analytics Settings Manager' group. But when I impersonate Adela, she is also able to edit it. Kindly help.
Application Engine group
//sys_id of Analytics Manager group: 019ad92ec7230010393d265c95c260dd
if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf('019ad92ec7230010393d265c95c260dd')){
answer=true;
}
else{
answer=false;
}
Solved! Go to Solution.

are you sure that user is not part of that group?
Any other field level WRITE ACL is allowing the edit?

@Dave_p Did you check if there are any other ACL defined on the short description field which is allowing the access to the user here? You can use access analyser to find the ACL which is granting access on the short description field.

Hi @Dave_p ,
First check if the Adela is having ITIL or sn_incident_write role. If Yes
Then There must be total 3 ACL written on incident.description and Operation: "write"
You have to deactivate the one which have "sn_incident_write" because this ACL is again allowing user who have sn_incident_write role. ITIL role inherit this role.
Also try to use: gs.getUser().isMemberOf('GROUPNAME')
If my response helped, please mark it helpful and accept the solution so that it benefits future readers.

Rohit
