Make Republish Button visible to ownership group

[avinashdubey103]

I have a requirement to make the republish button visible to members of ownership group .

Currently only admins can see this button 

Condiiton of UI Action 

!(new KBCommon().isStackNameDialog()) && (new KBKnowledge().canRepublish(current))

You can overwrite the behaviour in Script Include KBCommon with function "canRepublishKnowledge". Please test the following

var KBCommon = Class.create();
KBCommon.prototype = Object.extendsObject(KBCommonSNC, {

    type: 'KBCommon',

	canRepublishKnowledge: function(itemGr) {
		// Case 1: Pass in a valid value
		if (!itemGr)
			return false;

		// Case 2: If the record is retired continue
		if (itemGr.workflow_state != "retired")
			return false;

		// Case 3: If user is admin continue
		// Customization: Ownership group should be possible to republish article
		if (!this.isAdminUser(itemGr) && !this.isGroupMemberOrManager(itemGr[this.OWNERSHIP_GROUP]))
			return false;

		// Default: Allow user to republish knowledge
		return true;
	},
});

@avinashdubey103 no problely not because the publish function "new KBKnowledge().republish(current);" in the UI Action also checks if you can republish which would not work with your function.
