ismemberOf in BR condition field

[TM19]

Hi

I want to make a scoped BR run a conditon:

Suppose the BR is on incident table, then the BR should only run when the caller in the caller_id field is a member of a particular group.

I tried the below code in the condition field 

gs.getUser(current.caller_id).isMemberOf(<group name>)

But this gives false, because instead of taking the user in caller field it takes logged in user.

Any solution for this?

Note: If similar code is user in background script as below in a gliderecord:

gs.getUser(gr.caller_id).isMemberOf(<group name>)

It returns the expected output.

HI @TM,

isMemberOf() will only work for loggedin users but as your requirement is to use the script in BR CONDITION. To achieve this you need to write a Script include and GlideRecord Group Member table and check if Caller is member of group then return true otherwise return false. Let me give you a sample.

BR CONDITION [if script include is in SAME scope]

javascript: new groupMemberUtility().member(current.caller_id);

BR CONDITION [if script include is in GLOBAL scope i.e call it by its API name]

javascript: new global.groupMemberUtility().member(current.caller_id);

SCRIPT INCLUDE

NAME - groupMemberUtility

var groupMemberUtility = Class.create(); //(auto generated)
groupMemberUtility.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, { //(auto generated)

    member: function(data) {

        gs.info("$$SH ---> Script include called!!! " + data);
        var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");
        gr.addQuery("user", data);
	    gr.setLimit(1);
	    gr.query();
        
	    if (gr.next())
           return true;

        return false;
    },

});

Please mark this CORRECT & HELPFUL, if it answered your question.

Nice work. I was going to suggest creating your own script include and calling it from the condition field.

FWIW, you don't need 'javascript:' in a condition field. It already knows it's JavaScript (e.g. current.active, for example, not javascript:current.active)

Thanks @Chuck Tomasi.

Earlier I tested without " Javascript: " and it was not working so I went with "Javascript:". I Just tested again without "javascript:" after reading your feedback and its working fine 🙂

Thanks again for the valuable information!

Thanks Sharjeel

I was also going in the script include direction, was trying to find any OOB script include would help.

Thanks again

Hi Muhammad ,

Where are we giving the desired group's name?
