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 @Ankur Bawiskar

Even when I impersonate a user that is selected as the Domain Steward or Architecture lead(owner) for the current record, the edit button doesn't appear. My code is:

answer = checkCondition();

function checkCondition(){

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

    if(title == 'Domain steward' || title == 'Architecture lead (Owner)' || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('Architecture Domain Admin'))
        return false; // show it
    else
        return true; // omit it
}

I also have 'Omit is empty' selected.

Hi,

what does this mean?

user that is selected as the Domain Steward or Architecture lead(owner) for the current record

I have assumed that is user's title. Is it correct understanding?

OR is there any field on your current form which holds that information?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar  yes so the edit field has to appear if the user is selected as the Domain Steward or Architecture lead(owner) for the current record or is a member of the 'Architecture Domain Admin' group.

The 'title' appears on the sys_user table, which is different.

Can you dot walk on fields on the form?

Hi,

Are these 2 fields on form "Domain Steward" and "Architecture lead(owner)"?

if yes then update as this

Ensure you give correct field name from Knowledge table which holds Architecture record

Also give correct field name for Domain Steward and Architecture lead(owner)

answer = checkCondition();

function checkCondition(){

	var leadUser = parent.u_architecture.u_architecture_lead;
	var domainUser = parent.u_architecture.u_domain_steward;
	var loggedInUser = gs.getUserID();

	if(leadUser == loggedInUser || domainUser == loggedInUser || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('Architecture Domain Admin'))
		return false; // show it
	else
		return true; // omit it
}
