Restrict visibility of a field on the basis of certain user_name

[rishabh31]

Dear Team,

I want to restrict the visibility/display of a field 'u_consultant' (String type field) on user records.

when the loggedin user's username startsWith 'id' or 'ID', then show (Display) 'u_consultant'

and when loggedin user's username NOT startswith NOR contains 'id' or 'ID', then HIDE 'u_consultant'

Wrote below scripts but during impersonation to users having or not having 'id' or 'ID', the user records keep displaying 'u_consultant' field i.e., Not working

Script Include;

var UserUtil1 = Class.create();
UserUtil1.prototype = {
    chkUsrID: function() {
        var userid = this.getParameter('sysparm_user');
        var result = this.newItem('check');
        var userGr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        userGr.addEncodedQuery('active=true^user_nameSTARTSWITHID^ORuser_nameSTARTSWITHid^sys_id=' + userid);
        userGr.query();
        if (userGr.next()) {
            result.setAttribute('check', 'yes');
        } else {
            result.setAttribute('check', 'no');
        }
    },

    type: 'UserUtil1'
};

Client Script (Above Script Include Called);

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var chkUsrID = new GlideAjax('UserUtil1');
   chkUsrID.addParam('sysparm_name', 'chkUsrID');
   chkUsrID.addParam('sysparm_user', g_user.userID);
   chkUsrID.getXML(getStatus);

   function getStatus(answer) {
	if (answer) {
		var result = answer.responseXML.getElementsByTagname("check");
		var check = result[0].getAttribute("check");
		if (check == 'yes'){
			g_form.setVisible('u_consultant', true);
		} else {
			g_form.setVisible('u_consultant', false);
		}
	}
   }
}

Please help to modify the script so that it will work

This sounds like the weirdest requirement ever, but why not use a simple ui policy? If name starts with or contains ID, show field.

I do hope you don't have many Sidneys working for your company. And Liddy should also start looking for a new job.

Thanks @Mark Manders , I think I not explained well, username samples for different users are:

id1234

ID2343

986439

128654

So id/ID in username not exist in middle of username characters i.e., username only startsWith id or ID.

UI Policy how could I achieve this, please share the desired UI Policy.

Thanks

The extra information provided in the comments helps. An onLoad client script like this, should do the trick:

function onLoad() {
    // Get the current user's ID
    var userID = g_user.userID;
    
    // Check if the userID contains 'id' or 'ID'
    if (userID.toLowerCase().indexOf('id') !== -1) {
        // If it does, make the 'u_consultant' field visible
        g_form.setVisible('u_consultant', true);
    } else {
        // Otherwise, hide the 'u_consultant' field
        g_form.setVisible('u_consultant', false);
    }
}
