Check user if he is part of one of multiple groups

Harish35 · ‎03-24-2020

Hi, I am trying to restrict users submitting request based on ownership. Only the users part of groups owning the server should be able to submit. here is the code i have written which is not working. this is an onchange script

var server = g_form.getReference('server',myfunc)
var user_ID = g_user.userID.split;
var servergroup = server.u_servergroups.split(,);
function myfunc(server){
var result = false;
if (server){
for(var i=0; i<servergroups.length; i++){
if(user_ID.isMemberof(servergroups[i])){
result = true;

alert(' is user part of server groups: ' + result);
}
}
}
}

Hi Harish,

Are you saying user will select some server and in server there is a list type of field which refers group table and if user is member of any of those group then show alert

you need to use GlideAjax and Script include for this

Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
	if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
		return;
	}
        
        var server = g_form.getReference('server').u_servergroups;

	var ga = new GlideAjax('u_userInfoAjax');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name', "getInfo");
	ga.addParam('sysparm_server ', server );
	ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer){
        
        if(answer.toString() == 'true')
        alert('is user part of server groups:');

	});

}

Script Include:

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

	getInfo: function(){
	var groups = this.getParameter('sysparm_server');
        var groupsArray = groups.toString().split(',');
        var flag = false;
        for(var i=0;i<groupsArray.length;i++){
          if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(groupsArray[i]))
            flag = true;
        }
        return flag;
	},

	type: 'u_userInfoAjax'
});

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
