logged in user roles in UI policy

[ryadavalli]

I have to check If the logged in person is different than approver in an UI policy, how can I achieve this ?

Hi Ravali,

Try this:

Approver | is not | javascript:gs.getUserID()

I did this on incident to see if the logged in user is NOT the caller.

Perfect Chuck. Thanks, can I also logged in person has change_manager role also as a part of UI policy?

For that you would need to go to a client script. The condition might look something like this:

if (g_user.hasRole('change_manager'))

// do some more stuff

To translate the UI policy condition in to a client script

if (g_form.getValue('caller_id') == g_user.userID)

// do some stuff

Yeah I understand that it could be addresses using a client script, but my problem is as UI policy executes after client script, what ever mandatory client script sets, they are wiped by another Ui policy's false condition, so I am trying to make it a part of the that UI policy.
