I want to hide a button (UI Action) from users with a certain role

[ewilks]

In the condition of the UI Action, I currently have the following code: current.canCreate() && !RP.getListControl().isOmitNewButton() && !RP.isRelatedList()

I would like to keep anyone who has the role of auditor from seeing this UI Action (button), so I added: && !gs.hasRole('auditor')

The entirety of the condition is now:   current.canCreate() && !RP.getListControl().isOmitNewButton() && !RP.isRelatedList() && !gs.hasRole('auditor')

I assumed that this would mean, that for a user to see this, they would have to not have the role of auditor.   But when I impersonate an auditor, I still see the button.

What am I doing wrong?

I did that, now everyone can see that button, except for the admin.

print all the condition in the ui action ... like paste this in your ui action....

gs.addInfoMessage(current.canCreate());

gs.addInfoMessage(!RP.getListControl().isOmitNewButton());

gs.addInfoMessage(!RP.isRelatedList());

gs.addInfoMessage(!gs.hasRole('auditor'));

find your culprit

Thanks. It works when I log in as admin as well as when I impersonate an ITIL user, but when I impersonate an auditor, it doesn't return anything.

Hi Eric,

try below code onLoad script of your table

items = $$('BUTTON').each(function(item){

    if(item.innerHTML.indexOf('Process Request') > -1){

          // verify the UI action name here ' Process Request is a name of my UI action button

var grMember1 = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');  

  grMember1.addQuery('user', g_user.userID);  

  grMember1.addQuery('group', 'a96ad9e698b9d000d511c2c579ca7054');   // sys_id of role

  grMember1.query();  

  if (grMember1.next()) {

item.show();

  }  

  else {

item.hide();

  }

you may need some minor changes here

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Abhijeet

I tried the following but get an unmatched '{' on line 2.

So, I tried putting a matching bracket at the very bottom of the script and got the error ERROR at line 16: Expected ')' and instead saw ''.   I've tried putting a matching bracket where I think it would be appropriate and I just get more errors.  

function onLoad() {

  items = $$('BUTTON').each(function(item){

    if(item.innerHTML.indexOf('New') > -1){

          // verify the UI action name here ' Process

var grMember1 = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

grMember1.addQuery('user', g_user.userID);

grMember1.addQuery('group', 'a96ad9e698b9d000d511c2c579ca7054');   // sys_id of role

grMember1.query();

  if (grMember1.next()) {

item.show();

  }

  else {

item.hide();

}

}
