Is there a Way to Make MVRS variables editable on SCTASK for a particular group?

[saint]

Hi Experts,

I have a MVRS, which lets requestor select user values from user table. This item creates a tasks which passes through diff teams, and teams can edit the variables in from on the users to update the information/ input the information, and then close the task.

UserID	New Manager	New Laptop	New XYZ	New ABC	.....
Selected at form submission	selected at sctask for group HR	selected at sctask for group IT	selected at sctask for group XYZ	selected at sctask for group ABC	.....

Please let me know the configurations i can do to achieve this result.

Regards,

Create a script include first to be called from client script

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

    checkMembership: function() {
        var groupName = this.getParameter('sysparm_group_name');
        var userId = gs.getUserID();
        
        if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf(groupName)) {
            return "true";
        }
        return "false";
    },

    type: 'UserGroupCheck'
});

2] We need to create client script to call SI we created

Open the variable set

in the catalog client script tab, clieck on new

select Type OnLoad

Applies to All

 

This script runs when the form loads, calls the Script Include above, and then locks or unlocks the Multi-Row Variable Set (MRVS) based on the result.

• Type: onLoad

• UI Type: All

JavaScript

function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('UserGroupCheck'); // Name of the Script Include
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkMembership'); // Name of the function
    ga.addParam('sysparm_group_name', 'Security Team'); // Replace with your group name
    
    ga.getXMLAnswer(handleResponse); // Asynchronous callback

    function handleResponse(response) {
        // If response is not "true", make the MRVS read-only
        if (response !== "true") {
            // Replace 'my_mrvs_internal_name' with your actual MRVS internal name
            g_form.setReadOnly('my_mrvs_internal_name', true);
        }
    }
}

Thank you for your response @Gaurav Vaze , 

I can make the entire MVRS editable, but i want to achieve a way where one group can edit one varibale from the MVRS and for other teams it becomes read-only, for security. Thanks again for your detailed response and script.

Hello @saint 
it goes same, you can use same logic and where you are making the whole variable set mandatory, then instead make the variable mandatory(e.g.

g_form.setReadOnly('variable_internal_name', true)

)
This involves nesting of if else so use the logic accordingly

please mark the solution as helpful, and if it solutions your problem then please accept as solution

Thank you

@saint 

you can use onLoad catalog client script which applies on MRVS

Then check group membership for logged in user and accordingly make your variable readonly/editable.
