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);
   }
}

Hi Wayne,

It sounds like below threads, So Please Refer

Hiding Form Sections Based on User Group

Hide/Show Form Section Based on role

Show/Hide Form Section

Please note that simply hiding a field via client script is not true security; if this is sensitive information I would ensure to also add a ACL record for read access to the actual fields, based on the same conditions you described (secret_qa_viewer role OR caller is javascript:gs.getUserID();)

Thanks, I do have ACLs in place. However, that doesn't stop the section being visible which is my requirement here.

Please update your client script like below

                            var user = g_form.getReference('assigned_to'); // modify to check record created by

1. if (g_user.hasRole('secret_qa_viewer')) {  
2.   g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', true);  
3.   }  

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

                                      g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', true);  

                                      }

1.   else{  
2.   g_form.setSectionDisplay('security_questions', false);  
3.   }
