Make Variables visible for certain group members

[Rowella Montell]

Hi All,

I was given a task to create a new catalog item and one of the requirements is that some variable fields should be only visible to a certain group members. I'm trying to create a script in the Catalog UI Policy to do this, what I need to do is to get servicenow read if the current logged in user is a member of a certain group and if he/she is then some variable fields should be visible to them. Can anyone help as to how I can achieve this? I'm still new to this so I'm not really sure how this should work.

Thank you!

Hi Rowella

can you share the script you configured?

You need to use glideajax for this, In your script Include use below logic in your method to get logged in user is member of group or not.

var member = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('GroupName/Group Sysid');  
//member will store true/false.
return member; 

Glide Ajax- https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-application-development/page/script/ajax/topic/p_AJAX.html#d...

Hi Rohila,

I'm pretty sure the code I have earlier is really not the way to do it, see below:

I tried the code you have in the script for Catalog UI Policy script but when I check in he service portal I'm getting an error message: There is a JavaScript error in your browser console.

I've saved the setting to run for mobile/serviceportal as we need this for SP:

Hi

Use GlideAjax for this as below, 

Catalog Client Script:

var ga = new GlideAjax('checkuserpartofgroup');
    ga.addParm('syyparm_name' 'checkgroup');
    ga.addParm('sys_parm_user', gs.getUser());
    ga.getXML(result);

function result (response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

  //your client logic here to show/hide field

}

Script include:

result: function(){

var user = this.getParameter('sys_parm_user');

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember'); 
gr.addQuery('user', user); 
gr.addQuery('group', '<sys_id_group>');
gr.query();
if(gr.hasNext()){
return true;
else{
return false;
}
}

I hope the answer helps, Kindly Mark ✅ Correct or ???? Helpful if applicable., So that others get benefited in future for similar issues...
