Form variables display base on Logged in User using onLoad Client script

[Peter Williams]

GOod Day

i have a requirement where i have no idea where to go.

I have a Request form where different users will use but i want to have certain fields/variable to display or set to read only base on the logged in user Group Membership.

ex. John Smith is apart of "Group A"

Jane Doe is apart of "Group B"

Group A users will only see start date field /variable and the end date field /variable is hidden or read only

While Group B will have the start date field /variable hidden or read only while the end date field /variable they can modify

how can i:
1) detect the logged in user if they are belonging to a specific group

2) using the IF Statement i can determine if they belong to the Group A or Group B (this is the easy part)

i just need to know if they belongs to the group in question or not

Hi @Peter Williams,

You can create a Business Rule to find out what group the logged-in user is part of and then use that information from the Business Rule in the client script to hide the variable or make it read-only.

this post doesnt really give that much details on how to do this in the BR nor in the Client script

i created this but doesnt seem to work

getting js errors on the console

function onLoad() {

  var grpFS = g_user.isMemberOf('77cc2d698790f910124dbbbf8bbb35d1'); //MTL Adjoint(e)s Soutien d'étages

   var grpBC =  g_user.isMemberOf('71ac29298790f910124dbbbf8bbb35cd'); //MTL Centre D'affaires

     if (grpFS){

        g_form.setValue('type', 'Floor Support');

        g_form.setReadOnly('type', true);

    }

    if(grpBC){

            g_form.setValue('type', 'Business Center');

            g_form.setReadOnly('type', true);

    }

    if(!grpFS && !grpBC){

        g_form.setReadOnly('type', false);

    }

}

Hi @Peter Williams ,

You can create business rule update below script.

var grpusr = current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue();
g_scratchpad.member = gs.getUser().isMemberOf(grpusr);

})(current, previous);

Next create a client script on your requirement like On Load or anything.

then in client side

place below script:

if(g_scratchpad.member == true)  {

g_form.setReadOnly('startdate', true);

}

Do same for groupb as well.

Mark it as helpful and solution proposed if it serves your purpose.
Thanks,
Anand
