Hi @Ambati  ,

Write a Onload Script on the catalog/ request form that calls a script include and inside the script include, verify the user is part of the group by using. gs.getUser().isMemberOf("Groupname or sysid here"); and return the value.

Thanks,

Yaswanth

you can use onLoad catalog client script + GlideAjax

-> Catalog client script (Applies on Catalog Task view = True)

-> Script include checks user membership

Script Include: it should be client callable

var CheckMembership = Class.create();
CheckMembership.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    isUserInDellSupportGroup: function() {
        var dellSupportGroupSysId = 'dell_support_group_sys_id'; // Replace with actual DELL Support group sys_id
        return gs.getUser().isMemberOf(dellSupportGroupSysId);
    },

    type: 'CheckMembership'
});

onLoad catalog client script

function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('CheckMembership');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isUserInDellSupportGroup');
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {
        if (response.toString() === 'true') {
            g_form.setReadOnly('request_for', true);
        } else {
            g_form.setReadOnly('request_for', false);
        }
    });
}

Hi @Ambati

You can achieve this using an onLoad Catalog Client Script in combination with a GlideAjax Script Include.

Steps:

1. Catalog Client Script

   • Applies on: Catalog Task view = True

   • Purpose: Calls the Script Include to check if the user is in the Dell Support group.

2. Script Include

   • Must be Client Callable.

   • Verifies whether the current user belongs to the Dell Support group.

Script Include

var CheckMembership = Class.create(); CheckMembership.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, { isUserInDellSupportGroup: function() { var dellSupportGroupSysId = 'dell_support_group_sys_id'; // Replace with actual DELL Support group sys_id return gs.getUser().isMemberOf(dellSupportGroupSysId); }, type: 'CheckMembership' });

onLoad Catalog Client Script

function onLoad() { var ga = new GlideAjax('CheckMembership'); ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isUserInDellSupportGroup'); ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) { if (response.toString() === 'true') { g_form.setReadOnly('request_for', true); } else { g_form.setReadOnly('request_for', false); } }); }
