gs.hasRole() syntax for multiple roles

[Adamya Singh Pa]

Hi,

I wanted to apply an OR condition for multiple roles using gs.hasRole() method.

However, I have a confusion about the syntax for the same :

gs.hasRole('role1' , 'role2' ); or gs.hasRole('role1,role2');

I am getting different results from these two syntaxes. Let me know what the difference is, and which is the correct one to check whether role1 OR role2 is present for the user.

Thanks!

Hi @Adamya Singh Pa ,

Note : The hasRole() returns true, if the user has the role specified (e.g. hasRole(role)) OR the admin role.

Hi @Adamya Singh Pa ,

second one is correct. refer below

if(gs.hasRole('role1,role2,role3')){
//If user has anyof the role it will return true 
}

or
if(gs.hasRole('role1') || gs.hasRole('role2')){
//If user has anyof the role it will return true 
}

@Adamya Singh Pa 

you cannot pass 2 parameters in that function.

it can accept only 1 role name

Are you sure about that? I came across a couple of articles with multiple roles as input.
