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

Why can't you something like the following?

var userID=g_user.userName;

if(userID.startsWith('ID') && userID.startsWith('id')){

       g.form.setVisible('field_name',true)

}

NB: Please validate the syntax

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful or correct.

Hi @rishabh31 

You can do with NO code, UI policy is here

[rishabh31]

Thanks @Dr Atul G- LNG , but it is about currently logged in user username.

I am extremely sorry In hurry I missed to mention that if currently loggedin username startwith or not startwith id/ID.

Let me edit my question.

Now to check loggedin user username I guess, UI policy will not work

Hi @rishabh31 

Agree in this case UI policy will not work.

Create scripted (read&write) ACL to restrict this field based on the user ID. For me I would create a new role to have a better control on the field access.
