How to hide a few choice values- if logged in user belongs to a specific group

[Amol Pawar]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement like I have created a record producer. The first variable is a select box in which I have added 4 choices. I want to hide some choices if a logged-in user belongs to a group.

How can I achieve this?

Let me know if anyone has done similar to this requirement.

Regards,

Amol

I can't use role in catalog client script due to licensing issues. How can I achieve this?

I was reading some of your answers on similar kind of thread like using a Display BR and Client Script but that was not working on my case. Should I create the BR and client script in Global scope only?

Thanks in advance,

Amol

@Amol Pawar 

you can use onLoad client script + GlideAjax

Inside the script include function check if user belongs to that group and return true/false

then inside onLoad check the value is true/false and then based on that remove the options

BR won't work for catalog form

script is present here. I hope you can modify it as per your requirement

Hide Question Choice based on logged in user belonging to group

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies. I got the answer from the thread: 

https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/abstractajaxprocessor-undefined-maybe-missing-g...

Script Include:

var checkGroupMember = Class.create();

checkGroupMember.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    checkGroup: function() {

        var grp = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('DISCL - Reviewers');

        return grp;

    },

    type: 'checkGroupMember'

});

Client script:

function onLoad() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    var ga = new GlideAjax('checkGroupMember'); // Script Include Name here

    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkGroup'); // Your Function Name here

    ga.getXML(callback);

    function callback(response) {

        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

        alert('Before if');

        if (answer == 'true') {

            alert('After if');

            g_form.removeOption('type_of_disclosure', 'Audits');

        }

    }

}

Thank you,
