canWrite() function for parent records

[Leonel Sandroni]

Hi there,

I'm trying to restric ACLs permissions for Demand RIDACs items according to demand record permissions. I need to use the canWrite() function and it should look the parent demand record. I have builded a script but it doesn't work

var answer=false;

    // Check if current user can edit parent

    if (parent.canWrite()) 
      
       {
        answer=true;
      }

Do you know what is wrong?

Thanks

@Leonel Sandroni Can you check if the record has a parent assigned to it?

[Leonel Sandroni]

Yes, it has a parent record

Also I have checked the write ACLs in dmn_demand (parent table) and it seems to be right

@Leonel Sandroni ,

The script looks correct. Just adding some lines below so that you can add logs and check

var answer = false;
if (current.parent) {
gs.log("Parent exists. Parent canWrite(): " + current.parent.canWrite());
if (current.parent.canWrite()) {
answer = true;
gs.log("User can edit parent demand record.");
}
} else {
gs.log(" Parent record not found or parent field is empty.");
}


In case the logs don't help and everything seems right. Please enable 'Debug security rules' and check whether there are any other ACLs that match and are restricting the permissions.

I have debugged the acls and I have found this script condition is the problem

Ok, I have found the solution. First you need to refert to the parent record with getRefRecord() and then check permissions with canWrite so:

var parent= current.parent.getRefRecord();
      answer = parent.canWrite();

it should work
