how to make a field read only based on Logged in user

[ursnani]

I have a Field on my form and I want ti make that field READONLY based on Logged in user.

It should be editable to only 4 users.

I have tried scripting in UI Policy and Onload Client Script, But both are not working.

UI Policy Script:

if(g_user.userName != 'username' || g_user.userName != 'username'){

g_form.setReadOnly('fieldname', true);

Onload SCript:

function onLoad() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    alert('the current Logged in user is '+g_user.userName);

var ga = g_user.userName;

if(ga != 'username' || ga != 'username'){

g_form.setReadOnly('field name', true);

}

}

I had imperonated the user and user and checked but it is readonly for him too..

I dont know where i am going Wrong.   Can anyone please help.

Thanks,

you should be able to use something like this:

an onLoad client script

if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('<user group>')){

g_form.setReadOnly('<field_name>', true);

}

OR

a Scripted UI Policy

function onCondition() {

var notAllowedToEdit = g_user.hasRole('change_manager');

if(allowedToEdit)

{

g_form.setReadOnly('<field_name>', true);

}}

Hope you can use this

Hi Dave,

We cannot use gs. on client side right ???

[dave_edgar]

yeah, you can use jslog and open up the Javascript log and field watcher

Ideally, you should consider using g_user.hasRole() but anyways if you have decided on specific user names still it should work. I used below sample script and it works for me:

function onCondition() {
if(g_user.userName == 'userName');{
g_form.setReadOnly('field_name', true);
}
}
