Forum Read Permissions from a script

[RaysOdyssey]

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has figured out a way to calculate forum readability from a server-side script in ServiceNow.

Essentially, I am hoping to gather all Community Forums that a user has read access to.

So far, I found sn_communities.CommunityUserImpl has some functions to calculate user readability, but it just returns a blank array.

var user = "sys_id of the user";
var scrInc = new sn_communities.CommunityUserImpl(user);
var forums = scrInc.getReadableForums();

Access Analyzer is giving accurate results on the table and record level for the sn_communities_forum table. Can't figure out how it's doing that.

Any insight/help is highly appreciated.

Hello Rachit,

Here is a sample script you can use.

The final JSON can be used to extract Forum details - it contains id, name,  availableForMembership, isAdmin, isModerator.

var siCall= new sn_communities.CommunityUserImpl();
var readForums= siCall.getReadableForums(); //returns Object based on Logged in user roles
var canReadJSON = JSON.stringify(readForums);
gs.print(canReadJSON );
var output = canReadJSON;

Output of above script is as follows in my PDI:

Output *** Script: [{"id":"ddee4b5183e7c210da36c2d6feaad384","name":"Security","availableForMembership":"0","isAdmin":false,"isModerator":true,"order":"20"},{"id":"19de0f9183e7c210da36c2d6feaad300","name":"Developer","availableForMembership":"1","isAdmin":false,"isModerator":true,"order":"10"}]

 Hope this helps!
Regards, Akash
