gs.getUser in background scripts

[Khanna Ji]

Hi All,

How can I execute below script in background script for one of the user?

gs.getUser().isMemberOf('abc')

Hi @ServiceNow User 

first you have to fetch a user record from table sys_user and then you can invoke method isMemberOf():

var grUser = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

grUser.addQuery("user_name", "<USERID>");
grUser.query();

if (grUser.next()) {
  if (grUser.isMemberOf("<GROUPNAME>")) {
    //your code
  }
}

Kind regards
Maik

Like this

Pass the user name or user sys_id

var username = 'abel.tuter';

var isMember = gs.getUser().getUserByID(username).isMemberOf('abc');

gs.info(isMember);
