Hi @Atchutaram,

from design perspective a condition that "group starts of [XY]" doesn't seem to be optimal.

ACL

• Consider adding a new group type (that can be called "SM") and make the display condition in ACL based on the group type...

Role

• Or onLoad (catalog) client script with g_user.hasRoleExactly('');

Group name starting with "SM"

• it would require a onLoad catalog client script to display in Portal and one client script to display in backend, both would call a GlideAjax call to check if the logged in user has been a member of "SM" group.

g_scratchpad

• display BR and onLoad client script
• backend only
• not applicable in portal

Multiple ways to achieve

1) you can use field level READ ACL on that field, use advanced script in ACL, ensure you give correct role in ACL

var userId = gs.getUserID();
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
gr.addQuery('user', userId);
gr.addQuery('group.name', 'LIKE', 'SM');
gr.setLimit(1);
gr.query();
answer = gr.hasNext();

OR

2) Display business rule + onLoad client script

Display BR on change_request table

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {
    var userId = gs.getUserID();
    var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
    gr.addQuery('user', userId);
    gr.addQuery('group.name', 'LIKE', 'SM');
    gr.setLimit(1);
    gr.query();
    g_scratchpad.show_kb_article = gr.hasNext();
	
})(current, previous);

onLoad client script

function onLoad() {
    // Check the value from g_scratchpad
    var canSeeKbArticle = g_scratchpad.show_kb_article;

    if (canSeeKbArticle) {
        g_form.setVisible('u_kb_article', true);
    } else {
        g_form.setVisible('u_kb_article', false);
    }
}
