Implement same filters as configure > Security rules

[Kumar38]

I would like to implement the same filters under configure > Security rules . using UI Action. This means if I click UI action  on AIX table , it should show ACLs with filters as it displays if someone clicks configure > security rules on AIX table.

i.e ; Name starts AIX OR Unix OR Server OR computer OR Hardware OR cmdb_ci OR cmdb

it Is there a way to do this ?

Hi @Kumar38 ,

In which table you want to create UI Action?

You can try like below:

• Create a UI Action:

  • Navigate to System UI > UI Actions.
  • Create a new UI Action on the sys_security_acl table (the ACL table).
  • Set the Action name and Button label as desired (e.g., "Apply Security Rule Filters").
  • Ensure the Active checkbox is selected.
  • Set the Form button and/or List button checkboxes based on where you want the UI Action to appear.
• Implement Client-side Script:

  • Select the Client checkbox on the UI Action record.
  • In the Onclick field, call a client-side function (e.g., applyACLFilters()).
  • In the Script field, add the JavaScript code to apply the desired filters. This typically involves using GlideList2 methods or manipulating the URL.

JavaScript

    function applyACLFilters() {
        // Define your desired filter query string
        // Example: Filtering by 'Active' and 'Type'
        var filterQuery = 'active=true^type=record'; 

        // Get the current list object
        var list = GlideList2.get('sys_security_acl'); 

        // Set the filter
        if (list) {
            list.setFilterAndRefresh(filterQuery);
        } else {
            // Fallback for older versions or if GlideList2 is not available
            window.location.href = 'sys_security_acl_list.do?sysparm_query=' + filterQuery;
        }
    }

This will be a global UI Action and if I click the UI Action on Table , it should list AcLs of that table and all the parents table.

For reference if I click on AIX table , it should show as it displays if someone clicks configure > security rules on AIX table

Then set the table of your new UI Action as "Global" and try with code which I shared
