Checking logged in user in server script in widget

[-Andrew-]

Hi guys.

I'm trying to get the current logged in user in an if statement within the server script of my widget, i've tried the below and other ways but i'm stumped:

data.user = gs.getUserID();

	if(record.requester == data.user){
		data.showMyDelegated = true;
	}

//Have also tried:

	if(record.requester == gs.getUserID()){
		data.showMyDelegated = true;
	}

yes so do one thing replace 

record.requester = gr.getDisplayValue('caller_id');

this above line to below line 

record.requester = gr.getValue('caller_id'); // this returns sys_id

You need to compare with sys_id as gs.getUSERID() GETS SYS_ID 

NOW DO THE COMPARISON AFTER REPLACING

data.user = gs.getUserID();
		if(record.requester == data.user){
			data.showMyDelegated = true;
	}

please mark my answer correct if it helps you

Thanks - this is setting the data.showMyDelegated to true each time.

for example i have two records showing in the list, I am the the caller for one and someone else is for another - this is where i was getting stuck

Hi ,

Have you declared and assign false value at start like below

data.showMyDelegated = false; // this will help to check false condition

Thanks,

okay then do like this first declare it to false and then mark it true according to your condition

data.showMyDelegated =false;
data.user = gs.getUserID();
		if(record.requester == data.user){
			data.showMyDelegated = true;
	}
else{
data.showMyDelegated =false;
}

With this you can use the false condition too
