gs.getUser() accept parameters?

[xiaix]

I'd like to pass a sys_user GlideRecord object to "gs.getUser()".  Is that possible?

For example, in a script include:

var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
u.get('92ece4dfdb3dd41084cc74b5ae9619d7');
if (u) {
	if (gs.getUser(u).isMember('Service Desk')) {
		/* do something */
	}
}

That possible?

This is a great bookmark to have: https://www.servicenowguru.com/scripting/user-object-cheat-sheet/

You can use isMemberOf, here's the example from the post:

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group)){
//Do something...
}

var isMember = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('Hardware');

To do this for a user that isn't the currently logged-in user...

var user = 'admin';
var group = "Hardware";
if (gs.getUser().getUserByID(user).isMemberOf(group)){
gs.log( gr.user_name + " is a member of " + group);
}

else{
gs.log( gr.user_name + " is NOT a member of " + group);
}

Yep, I reference that all the time  🙂 

Nothing there that I found answered my question.

Ah, looking at your code, you're not getting the current logged in user, you're trying to GlideRecord for a specific user, in this case your GlideRecord query would use the sys_user_grpmember table instead and plug in the addQueries for both the user and group.

var userGr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");


userGr.addQuery('group.sys_id',grp_sys_id);


userGr.addQuery('user.sys_id',user_sys_id);


userGr.query();


while (userGr.next()) {

//Do something

}

Yeah, that's what I thought.. hehe.   I was trying to 'shortcut' it 😛

I figured though that I'd have to go the long way around.

Thanks!
