How to check if currently logged in user is in one of the groups - ACL script

[Kasia5]

Hi All,

I have a watch_list field in a form and I need to create an ACL because this field should be visible only when user is in one of the groups which name starts with ABC or DEF. How can I write a script in ACL to achieve this?

I was trying for example with:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
gr.addQuery('user', gs.getUser());
gr.addQuery('group', 'groupSTARTSWITHabc^ORgroupSTARTSWITHdef');
gr.query();

if (gr.next()) {
    answer = true;
} else {
    answer = false;
}

Thanks in advance for help

Hye ,

Please try below script

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf('ABC') ||gs.getUser().isMemberOf('DEF') )

{

answer=true;

}

else

{

answer=false;

}

Please accept this solution if you find it helpful

Hi Kaisa

small changes in your code, 

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
gr.addQuery('user', gs.getUser());
gr.addEncodedQuery('groupSTARTSWITHabc^ORgroupSTARTSWITHdef'); 
//gr.addQuery('group', 'STARTSWITH','abc^ORgroupSTARTSWITHdef');//you can also use this.
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
    answer = true;
} else {
    answer = false;
}

solution provided by mohit also works.
