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?

oooh, never though of using

gs.getUser().getUserByID(user)

I'll try that!

You may Use something like this

var user = "97e8a0d6dbd4a24abc74b1234967";//Sys_id of the user
var currentUser = gs.getUser().getUserByID(user);
gs.print(currentUser.isMemberOf('hardware');//will print true if user is member of group

This will work.  Thanks @Ashley Snyder and @akifshah for the suggestions!

var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
u.get('c3dd3629dbc7f20037d1dbf0ce961971');
if (u) {
	if (gs.getUser().getUserByID(u.user_name.toString()+'').isMemberOf('Service Desk')) {
		gs.print("yep");
	}
	else {
		gs.print('nope');
	}
}

Keep in mind that only works in global. There was a similar discussion earlier this week around scoped apps. There's no "getUserByID()" in scoped apps.

99.8% of the time I'm in "Global", but good to know if I'm ever coding for something that's scoped!
