Restrict the approvals to only few members of an assignment group using approval-user item in workflow

[Yerramilli Padm]

Hi team,

We have a requirement to restrict approvals to a few members of an assignment group which consists of 20+ members.

Out of all, we need to sent approvals of a request to only 4 members using workflow(Approval-User) item.

Could you please help us in achieving this requirement?

Regards,

Padmaja.

Hi,

Use below script, Mark my answer as correct or hit like based on impact.

answer = [];
var mbr= new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
mbr.addQuery('group', gr.sys_id.toString()); //or use following line instead
//mbr.addQuery('group', '1'); //replace 1 with sys_id of group
mbr.addQuery('user','IN','1, 2, 3'); //replace 1, 2, 3 with sys_ids of users to include
mbr.query();
while(mbr.next()){
 answer.push(mbr.user.toString());
}

Hi Rasheed,

Thanks for your suggestion. Can we use this code in advances scripting part of Approval-User activity in workflow?

Or is there any way where we can filter out the members of the group near the "user" field inside the "Approval-User" activity?

Padmaja.

No, you have to use the code in advance scripting part in 'Approval - Group' activity and not in Approval - user activity as there are multiple users involved. Please try and if it works mark my answer as correct.
