I have condition on the Menu Item set to the following:

gs.getSession().isLoggedIn() && new checkIfGroupMember().verifyMembership();

The intent of this condition is to check if the user is Logged In and is part of a specific group.

 

Here is the client callable script include:

var checkIfGroupMember = Class.create();
checkIfGroupMember.prototype = {
initialize: function() {},

verifyMembership: function() {
if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('group_name1') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('group_name2') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('group_name3'))
return true;
}, else: {
return: false,
},
    type: 'checkIfGroupMember'
};

 

This is not working, as any user regardless of group can see the dashboard menu item. Can someone help me where I have gone wrong? I don't know if my script include is incorrect or if my condition is incorrect.

You might need to pass the current user as an argument in the Script Include.  Where exactly are you using this?  Is your Script Include in the same scope as whatever is calling it?  Your Script Include is not truly Client callable as the extended AjaxProcessor was not added to the beginning, which happens when the box is clicked after the script exists, but it doesn't need to be Client callable in this case - that's only necessary for GlideAjax calls from a client script.

 

Your if statement is not formatted correctly.  Change it to:

if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('group_name1') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('group_name2') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf('group_name3')) {
    return true;
} else {
    return false;
},

You may need to add some log lines to confirm this is running, based on the call in the condition, and confirm the value of gs.getUser().  Do you really need the first part of the Condition - is it possible for users in your environment to not be logged in, yet still be members of groups?

Well, the reason I tried global, is because if I didn't use global.CheckIfGroupMember().verifyMembership(), and used the child application scope, when I would access the service portal, I got an error because of the child application scope being called while in a global page.

 

My confusion is that the page isn't in global, neither are the portal menus, so I was utterly confused how global was being read on the page.

 

Nonetheless, if I created the script include in the global application, then the dashboards are hidden from non-group users, so it works as expected. I'm not sure how or why, but with your help, I was able to get it working. Your tip with my incorrect syntax and application scope resolved my issue. I have marked your original post as the solution. Thank you again Brad.

 

Cheers!
