Only opened by should able to see RITM not other how to restrict

s_nandhini · Monday

Hi All,

I have a requirement only opened by should able to see the Req and RITM not other even requested for should not able to see the request for particular catalog item.

I tried restricted via ACL and Query BR but still requested for and other ITIL users able to see the RITM and REQ.

Please guide me which is the best approach.

@s_nandhini

you can enhance that

something like this

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    if (!gs.getSession().isInteractive() || gs.hasRole('admin')) {
        return;
    }

    var catItemId = 'PUT_CATALOG_ITEM_SYS_ID_HERE';
    var allowedGroupId = 'PUT_GROUP_SYS_ID_HERE';
    var userId = gs.getUserID();

    // If user is in the allowed group, allow full access to this catalog item's RITMs
    if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf(allowedGroupId)) {
        return;
    }

    // For the restricted catalog item:
    // show only records where request.opened_by is current user
    // all other catalog items remain visible as usual
    current.addEncodedQuery(
        'cat_item!=' + catItemId +
        '^NQcat_item=' + catItemId + '^request.opened_by=' + userId
    );

})(current, previous);

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

var restrictegrp = 'sys_id';

if (!gs.getSession().isInteractive() || gs.hasRole('admin') || gs.getUser().isMemberOf(restrictegrp)) {

return;

}

var userId = gs.getUserID();

var restrictedItemSysId = 'sys_id';

var ritmGr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');

ritmGr.addQuery('cat_item', restrictedItemSysId);

ritmGr.addQuery('opened_by', '!=', userId);

ritmGr.query();

var hiddenReqIds = [];

while (ritmGr.next()) {

var reqid= ritmGr.getValue('request');

if (reqid) {

hiddenReqIds.push(reqid);

gs.info('Hidden Request IDs: ' + hiddenReqIds);

}

if (hiddenReqIds.length > 0) {

current.addQuery('sys_id', 'NOT IN', hiddenReqIds.join(','));

}

})(current, previous);

}
}

if (hiddenReqIds.length > 0) {
gs.info('Hiding requests: ' + hiddenReqIds.join(','));
current.addQuery('sys_id', 'NOT IN', hiddenReqIds.join(','));
} else {
gs.info('No restricted RITMs found for user ' + userId);
}

})(current, previous);

It is going to else loop no restricted RITM found.

Hi @s_nandhini

Navigate to Access Control (ACL) by your security_admin priviledge.

Create a new ACL:

Type: Record
Operation: Read
Name: sc_req_item
Script

var yourCatItem = 'SYS_ID_OF_YOUR_ITEM'; // Replace with actual Sys ID
if (current.cat_item == yourCatItem) {
       answer = (gs.getUserID() == current.opened_by || gs.hasRole('admin'));
} else {
       answer = true; 
}

Create same kind of ACL in Request table and try.
