How to make the edit button on a related list appear for certain users

[matthew_hughes]

On the below form, the 'Edit' button appears within the 'Knowledge' related list:

However, I only want to make the 'Edit' button available for the current record if the user is either the 'Architecture lead(owner)', 'Domain Steward' or a member of a particular group. 

What would I need to add to the List Control?

Hi,

You can assign create a role for these groups and give that role in UI Action OR

You can set the condition something like gs.getUser().isMemeberOf('your group name') and you can use and/Or condition to add more groups.

Mark Correct or Helpful if it helps.

Hi,

So there's nothing that can be done that makes the 'Edit' button visible to the user either the 'Architecture lead(owner)' or 'Domain Steward' of the current record?

Hello,

This can be achieved by  List Control.

• Open the form containing the related list to update. In the example, the Incident form is used.
• Right-click the header bar of the related list and select Personalize > List Control. In the example, the Task SLAs related list is used.
• Select specific roles that can use the buttons. Click the lock icon next to Edit roles and move roles from the Available column to the Selected column.
• Click Update.
• On the parent form, check that the Edit buttons appear in the related list as per role.

If this not works, check if any ACL running on this.

Hi,

you can configure the list control on that related list and add Script inside the Omit Edit button script

I assume you are referring to logged in user's title

answer = checkCondition();

function checkCondition(){

	var title = gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('title');

	if(title == 'Domain Steward' || title == 'Architecture lead(owner)' || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('Group ABC'))
		return false; // show it
	else
		return true; // omit it
}
