Get the list of child groups from parent group

[Sathiskumar_D]

Hello,

I am working on a requirement . 

• Create a read ACL for the users where the assignment group's child groups (haystack) are part of user's group (needle). If yes, allow read access. 
• Read ACL is in scoped application (customer service).  Is this possible to get group array list without using glideRecord query (on group table) from scoped application (customer service) ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Sathiskumar_D ,

You can use below scrip in ACL.

var user = gs.getUser();

var assignmentGroupSysId = current.assignment_group
var userGroups = user.getMyGroups();
 gs.print('parent ' + userGroups);

var childGroups = [];
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
gr.addQuery('parent',assignmentGroupSysId);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()) {
	
    childGroups.push(gr.sys_id.toString());
}


for (var i = 0; i < childGroups.length; i++) {

       if (userGroups.indexOf(childGroups[i]) !== -1) {
           return true;
        }
    }


return false;
