how to check the manager

[Sandaru1]

Hi,

I need to check the current requester is a manager or not. how can i do that in a script. my complete logic would be like follow.

current_user = requesting user

requested_for_user = value of "requested for" field of request

if(manager of requested_for_user == current_user )

{

return 'yes'

}

else

{

return 'no'

}

please let me know a correct way to do this.

Thanks

Hi,

If you query on sys_user table in this table we have a Title section or you can use any other flag (custom )   on this table to identify current user is manager or not.

because it may be manager also has manager

If i understand you correctly, you either want to know if the current user is a manager OR the current user is a manager of the requested for?

I would do something like this:

To check if the current user is the manager of the requested for user

if(gs.getUserID() == current.requested_for.manager){

        return 'yes'

else

        return 'no';

To check if the current user is a manager or not:

if(isManager(){

        return 'yes';

} else {

        return 'no';

}

// Better to define this in a script include

function isManager(){

        var usr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

        usr.addQuery('manager', gs.getUserID());

        usr.query();

        if(usr.query()){

                  return true;

        } else {

                  return false;

        }

}

I don't see any function call gs.getUserId()... Can you please send me a reference

Updated. Its getUserID()
