getMyGroups gets parent groups as well

[Miriam Berg]

Hi,

The built-in function getMyGroups also returns all parent groups of the groups that you are in.

To only return the specific groups that you are in, create a new script include like so:

Name: getMySpecificGroups

Client Callable: true

Script:

function getMySpecificGroups(){
   var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
   gr.addQuery("user", gs.getUserID());
   gr.addQuery("group.active", true);
   gr.query();
   var array = [];
   while (gr.next()) {
           array.push(gr.getValue('group'));
   }
   return array;
}

You can then user this script from for example a module filter with a condition:

Assignment Group                   Is                   javascript:getMySpecificGroups()

Best Regards,

Miriam

Hi Mariam - this does not seem to be working for me; whenever I try to add the script include in the filter area, it is showing "assignment group=(empty) as it is not recognizing the javascript:getMySpecificGroups. It seems to be thinking it is an invalid group name vs running the script. Do you know how to work around this? I do not want parent groups displaying as it clutters up people's work queues.

Thanks,
Diane

Hi Diane,

Can you please in this way and see if it helps:

var getMySpecificGroups = Class.create();

getMySpecificGroups.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getGroups : function(){  

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');  

gr.addQuery("user", gs.getUserID());  

gr.addQuery("group.active", true);  

gr.query();  

var array = [];  

while (gr.next()) {  

array.push(gr.getValue('group'));  

}  

return array;  

},

type: 'getMySpecificGroups'

});

In condition, please use below and see if this helps.

javascript:new getMySpecificGroups().getGroups()

Hi Diane,

Did you include the parentheses after?

javascript:getMySpecificGroups()
