Make variable visible only to users in a certain group?

Hello,

I have a catalog item and I am trying to make a variable (request_type) visible only when the logged in user is part of a specific group (Senior Director Enterprise Group). 

I have tried doing this using a script includes as well as an on-load client script. I will post my code for both below. However, this is not working. 

Here is the script include (I have client callable selected):

var validateMember = Class.create();
validateMember.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    validateLoggedUserGroup: function() {
		var arr = [];
        var getLoggedInUser = this.getParameter('sysparm_user');
        var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
		gr.addQuery('user',getLoggedInUser);
		gr.query();
		while(gr.next()){
			arr.push(gr.group.getDisplayvalidateMembere().toString());
		}
		return arr.toString();
    },



    type: 'validateMember'
});

 

Here is the On Load client script:

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    var ga = new GlideAjax('validateMember');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'validateLoggedUserGroup');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_user', g_user.userID);
    ga.getXML(checkGroups);

    function checkGroups(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        var variablesToHide = ['request_type']; // Enter your variable backend Name which you want to hide
        var groupsToValidate = 'S97209ba71bad5d58142dc9192a4bcbff'; 
        if (answer.indexOf(groupsToValidate) > -1) { //Check If USer if Member of Group Or Not which you want
            for (var i = 0; i < variablesToHide.length; i++) {
                g_form.setDisplay(variablesToHide[i], false);
            }
        }

    }
}

 

I have tried the line where it shows the group sys id using both group sys id and also group name, but neither is working. Any ideas??

 

Thanks!
