Please assist.

Hi @Joshuu,
To make a specific section of a form visible only to a particular group, you can use both a Display Business Rule and a Client Script in ServiceNow. Here’s a simple way to do it:
Identify the Section Name: First, you need to find the "backend name" of the section you want to control. This is the identifier that ServiceNow uses internally. To find this name:
Create a Client Script on the form where the section is located.
Use the following code in the Client Script:
var sections=g_form.getSectionNames();
alert(sections);
This code will show an alert with the names of all sections on the form. Look for the name of the section you’re interested in.
Write a Display Business Rule: After you have the section name, you need to control its visibility based on the user’s group. You do this with a Display Business Rule:
- Create a new Display Business Rule that runs when the form is loaded.
- In this Business Rule, write the logic to check if the user belongs to a specific group and then make the section visible or hidden accordingly.
Here’s a basic example of what the Business Rule might look like:
Write the Below Script in the Script Field
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
// Add your code here
g_scratchpad.grp = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('Service Desk');
})(current, previous);
Update Your Client Script: Finally, modify the Client Script to use the g_scratchpad variable to control the section’s visibility. For example:
function onLoad() {
// This function runs when the form is loaded.
// Check if the 'grp' value exists in the g_scratchpad object.
if (g_scratchpad.grp) {
// If grp exists, show the 'notifications' section.
g_form.setSectionDisplay('notifications', true);
} else {
// If grp does not exist, hide the 'notifications' section.
g_form.setSectionDisplay('notifications', false);
}
}
In summary, you use the Client Script to get the section's backend name and the Display Business Rule to decide who should see it. Then, the Client Script adjusts the visibility of the section based on that decision.
