isMemberOf is not working

[sainath3]

Hi Everyone,

I have a requirement that, I need to restrict access to one tab in the portal to specific groups(SIT user & UAT user) only,

But there are no direct group members in both the groups, there are multiple roles(Testing user role & align mgt) in both the groups.

I want to give access the users who are in both the groups (SIT user & UAT user).

Code:

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf('SIT user') || if(gs.getUser.isMemberOf('UAT User') ){

data.testuser=true

}

result: false even the user is part of the role.

Can you please suggest me.

Hello @sainath3 

Try this

if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('SIT user') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('UAT User')) {
   data.testuser = true;
}

Hi Vishal,

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried the same it is returning false.

Actually there no direct group members but, there  are some users in roles under that groups.

I want to give access to only the user who are in roles(Testing user role & align mgt) which is under those groups.

Hello @sainath3 

In ServiceNow, gs.getUser().isMemberOf('Group Name') only checks direct group membership, not roles or nested relationships like users having roles that are assigned to a group.

If you want to check whether a user has a specific role (like Testing user role or Align Mgt), you should check roles directly, not group membership.

if (gs.hasRole('testing_user_role') || gs.hasRole('align_mgt')) {
   data.testuser = true;
}

Then it will not work indeed. You can either try Vishal's approach, or target the child groups (parents are evaluated, children are not for isMemberOf()).
