isMemberOf function in client script

Michael Bachme1 · ‎03-13-2017

I'm trying to get certain options in the State field to hide if the current user is not a member of a group. The script I have so far is as follows:

function onLoad() {

var usr = g_user.getUserID();

var gate = g_form.getValue('u_field');

if (gate == 'true' && !usr.isMemberOf('GROUP')){

g_form.removeOption('state', '3'); //closed complete

g_form.removeOption('state', '4'); //closed incomplete

g_form.removeOption('state', '7'); //closed skipped

}

How do I get the opposite of 'isMemberOf'? I was thought it was an exclamation point (i.e. !usr.isMemberOf('group').

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Step 1: Create a display Business rule with script as. Place the below script between function templates in script body.

g_scratchpad.grp = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('PASS GROUP NAME HERE');

Now update the client script as

function onLoad() {

var usr = g_user.getUserID();

var gate = g_form.getValue('u_field');

if (gate == 'true' && !g_scratchpad.grp){

g_form.removeOption('state', '3'); //closed complete

g_form.removeOption('state', '4'); //closed incomplete

g_form.removeOption('state', '7'); //closed skipped

}

Hello Michael,

gs.getUser().isMemberOf('GROUP') method works at server side. You need to execute this via GlideAjax.

This will be a challenge for me as I have no experience in GlideAjax. Hints? Tips?

Working on it. Please stand by.

you have to use the getuser() (fetch user reference) function for checking group membership

!gs.getUser().isMemberOf( 'GROUP'))
