onLoad client script - hide some fields

[manoj9335]

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   if(g_user.hasRole('u_pm_tracking_user'))
   {
   g_form.setDisplay('u_rate',false);
   g_form.setDisplay('u_project_sow',false);
   g_form.setSectionDisplay('january (next year)', false);
   g_form.setSectionDisplay('february', false);
   return false;
   }

Hi,

I need to hide above fields depending on the role, which is working well. But, wanted to display all fields if role is not equal to 'u_pm_tracking_user'. Please, someone help me out with this.

Thanks,

Manoj.

Your code should work. Are you testing as an admin?   Admins inherit all roles by default so these fields would be hidden.

This is working well on different user. But as an admin, I need to see all fields. Client script is applying to me as well, those fields need to be displayed to me.

As an admin you automatically assume ALL roles.   Try the following condition:

function onLoad() {   
       if (g_user.hasRole('u_pm_tracking_user') && !g_user.hasRole('admin')) {   
               g_form.setDisplay('u_rate',false);   
               g_form.setDisplay('u_project_sow',false);   
               g_form.setSectionDisplay('january (next year)', false);   
               g_form.setSectionDisplay('february', false);     
       }   
}
