Hello @praveen1231 ,

you can create an onload catalog client script. use the g_form.getUserID() which you give you the current logged in user and dot walk check the title in if loop.

later user g_form.setReadOnly('varaible_name',true);

use g_user.getUserID()  there is also another way calling the script inlcude in client script using glideajax

Hi @praveen1231 ,

Try the following onLoad Catalog client script and a Client Callable Script Include.

Catalog Client Script:

function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('UserDataUtils');
    ga.addParam("sysparm_name", "getTitle");
    ga.addParam("sysparm_user_id", g_user.userID);
    ga.getXMLAnswer(validateUser);

    function validateUser(answer) {
        if (answer.indexOf('CIO') != -1 || answer.indexOf('CEO') != -1) {
            g_form.setReadOnly('your_field_name', true);// Change field name as per your requirement
        }
    }

}

Client Callable Script Include:

var UserDataUtils = Class.create();
UserDataUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

	getTitle: function(){
		var user_id = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_id');
		var usrGr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
		if(usrGr.get(user_id)){
			return usrGr.getValue('title') + '';
		}
	},

    type: 'UserDataUtils'
});
