Hiding form section for users without role or if the record is not the user's

[Wayne Richmond]

Hi. I'm trying to hide a form section on the user table unless the user has a role or the it's the users record. I've got the first part working with the following Client Script but I don't know how to configure it so the user can see the record if it's theirs. Can anyone else?

function onLoad() {
   if (g_user.hasRole('secret_qa_viewer')) {
   g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', true);
   }
   else{
   g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', false);
   }
}

Thanks but this doesn't work I'm afraid. Are you sure the user.sys_id bit is correct? I can't find any other example of it.

Hi Wayne,

A few tip here, although the requirement is not clearly understood.

if( g_user.hasRoles() ){

can simply check if the user has ANY role     (as per your words in the question)

}

you can use hasRoleFromList instead. http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=GlideUser_(g_user)#gsc.tab=0

But,please clarify on what   basis are you filtering that "the ticket   is of the user's" ? are you using assigned to for checking?

you can simply use

var usr= g_form.getValue('assigned_to');

if( g_user.hasRoleFromList('role') || g_form.userID==usr   ){

}

Hi sharique, thanks for the reply. I should have said "unless the user has a specific role", namely the 'secret_qa_viewer' role. This bit is working just fine, it's the latter part I can't get to work, namely when the user is viewing their own record. I'll explain it as clearly as I can.

I am the user Wayne Richmond. I have no roles, I am just an ess user. I open my own user record. I want to be able to see the section 'Secret Questions' because it's my record. I don't want anyone else to see this unless they have the security role 'secret_qa_viewer'.

I assumed I could achieve this by something like what sachin.namjoshi provided (where the current user's sys_id matches the current record's sys_id):

if (g_user.userID == user.sys_id) {

g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', true);

}

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

Okay, I managed to get it working! Here's the code:

function onLoad() {

var id = (g_form.getUniqueValue());

   if (g_user.userID == id || g_user.hasRole('secret_qa_viewer')) {
   g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', true);
   }

   else{
   g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', false);
   }
}

Thanks everyone who replied.

Ahh, i absolutely missed that you are using the user table here. My bad.
