field is read only for everyone except 2 groups

[New user1212]

Hey, I've created a new field in the form and I want it to be read only to everyone but that two groups can have access to filter this field - it's a reference. I want to create an acl for this case but I don't know the best way to do it. What would be the best way?

Hi @New user1212 

You mean to make field editable for two group members?

If yes you can create write level ACL on the field and in script section use below logic:

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf("sys_id of the group 1") || gs.getUser().isMemberOf("sys_id of the group2"))
answer=true;
else
answer=false;
answer;

That's what I was thinking, but I'm having trouble with the code. thank you very much

Hi @New user1212,

You can try with Data policy with condition Assignment group is not group1 or group2.

Make the field as read-only true.

Thanks,

As per my knowledge, you can create a new role and map that role with groups.
And you can create an ACL for that new field and map the newly created role into it.

Thanks
