Limit Select Box variable based on group

Cirrus · ‎05-19-2022

Hi,

We have a select box variable in a catalog item which has 3 choices, A,B,C. If the logged in user is a member of Group X, then they can see all 3 choices, but if they are a member of any other group, they should only see A and B.

I tested the principle using the following role based on load Client Script, which works exactly as we need it:

function onLoad() {
var isAdmin = g_user.hasRole('admin');
if (!isAdmin){
//alert('Current user is not an admin');
g_form.removeOption('variable','C');
}
}

My question is how to turn this into a group based condition. I tried the following, but the gs object should not be used in client scripts

function onLoad() {
var currentUser = gs.getUser();
if (currentUser.isMemberOf('X')){
g_form.addOption('variable','C');

Any help gratefully received.

Hi Cirrus,

Create a Script Include and call it from Client Script.

Variable choices defined as below.

Script Include

var UserInfoClient = Class.create();
UserInfoClient.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    isUserInGroup: function() {
        return gs.getUser().isMemberOf('<name of group>').toString();
    },
    type: 'UserInfoClient'
});

Client Script

function onLoad() {
	var ajax = new GlideAjax('UserInfoClient');
    ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isUserInGroup');
	ajax.getXMLAnswer(function(answer) {
        if (answer.length > 0 && answer == 'true') {
            g_form.addOption('variable', 'C', 'C');
        }
    });
}

Execution result

case 1:when user is a member of a group

case 2: when user is not a member of a group

I'm creating everything in Global for this example.

It's working in Service Portal without any problem. Need to see each screenshot to find the problem.

Changed field name to "what" with choices "A" and "B".

Running your background script from your previous reply is failing:

Evaluator: com.glide.script.RhinoEcmaError: "UserInfoClient" is not defined.
   script : Line(1) column(0)
==>   1: var userInfo = new UserInfoClient();
      2: var isInGroup = userInfo.isUserInGroup();
      3: gs.info(isInGroup);

(As per my comment above) - Have you changed the Name of the client script to match your class name?
