How to set specific list views for specific Groups

Shawn Horley · ‎10-01-2018

Greetings folks.

So, I've created specific Groups for the people about to access our new Asset Management application. I've created one of the two Views that I'm going to need. Now I'm trying to figure out how to restrict those group members to seeing the view I've created for them.

Yes. Do this

(function overrideView(view, is_list) {

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf('<Your group name 1>') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('<Your group name 2>')) {
answer = "Admin";
} else if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf('<Your group name 3>'){
answer = "Technicians";
} else {
answer = "default";
}
// set the new view to answer

})(view, is_list);

You can write view rules.

Right click on the form header and select Configure->All and you should see view rules tab. Add the view rule to display views based on group

Hi Sanjiv

Thanks for responding!

So, I had looked at this prior to asking the question, apologies on my part for not mentioning it. I'm not sure how to make that work based on specific groups as the filter conditions all seem to derive from the list column data itself.

I know that there is the Advanced option, but I have no idea how to script that rule.

You can add below script

(function overrideView(view, is_list) {

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf('<Your group name>')) {
answer = "<View1>";
} else {
answer = "<View2>";
}
// set the new view to answer

})(view, is_list);
