Roles to make breadcrumb widget work?

[Conan Lloyd1]

We seem to be having a role issue with the snh breadcrumb widget.  When a user with the itil role views the page in the portal, they see this:

But when a non-itil user looks at the same page:

Note the blank spot in the breadcrumbs.  Also if I click on the REQ link, I get a 404 page, likely since the page shows up as undefined in the link: https://lazarddev.service-now.com/sp?id=undefined&sys_id=64af59d02b2c325041a5fc385e91bf78&table=sc_r...

Does anyone have any idea where I can look for what's causing this?  I tried giving a read role to the sc_request table without effect

Did you create a custom breadcrumb widget? That does not look like the out of the box breadcrumb. Also did you customize your number as there is not normally a dash in it.

Can you give more information about if any widget was cloned? Or do you create a new taxonomy? Or any user criteria?

Sorry, I apparently wasn't firing on all cylinders.  It came from ServiceNow Hackery.  Here's the widget details, I put the OOB breadcrumb widget in place and it gives the same behavior.

Server:

(function() {
	var thisSession = gs.getSessionID();
	if (input) {
		if (Array.isArray(input.breadcrumbs)) {
			gs.getUser().setPreference('snhbc', JSON.stringify(input.breadcrumbs));
			gs.getUser().setPreference('snhses', thisSession);
		}
	} else {
		data.table = $sp.getParameter('table');
		data.sys_id = $sp.getParameter('sys_id');
		if (data.table) {
			var rec = new GlideRecordSecure(data.table);
			if (data.sys_id) {
				rec.get(data.sys_id);
				data.page = rec.getDisplayValue();
				if (data.page.indexOf('Created') == 0) {
					data.page = null;
				}
				if (!data.page) {
					data.page = rec.getDisplayValue('number');
				}
				if (!data.page) {
					data.page = rec.getDisplayValue('name');
				}
				if (!data.page) {
					data.page = rec.getDisplayValue('short_description');
				}
				if (!data.page) {
					data.page = rec.getLabel();
				}
			} else {
				data.page = rec.getPlural();
			}
		}
		data.breadcrumbs = [];
		var snhbc = gs.getPreference('snhbc');
		var snhses = gs.getPreference('snhses');
		if (snhbc && snhses && snhses == thisSession) {
			data.breadcrumbs = JSON.parse(snhbc);
		}
	}
})();

Client Controller:

function snhBreadcrumbs($scope, $rootScope, $location, spUtil) {
	var c = this;
	c.expanded = !spUtil.isMobile();
	c.expand = function() {
		c.expanded = true;
	};
	c.breadcrumbs = [];
	var thisTitle = c.data.page || document.title;
	if ($rootScope.portal && $rootScope.portal.title) {
		var portalSuffix = ' - ' + $rootScope.portal.title.trim();
		var cutoff = thisTitle.indexOf(portalSuffix);
		if (cutoff != -1) {
			thisTitle = thisTitle.substring(0, cutoff);
		}
	}
	var thisPage = {url: $location.url(), id: $location.search()['id'], label: thisTitle};

	if (thisPage.id && thisPage.id != $rootScope.portal.homepage_dv) {
		var pageFound = false;
		for (var i=0;i<c.data.breadcrumbs.length && !pageFound; i++) {
			if (c.data.breadcrumbs[i].id == thisPage.id) {
				c.breadcrumbs.push(thisPage);
				pageFound = true;
			} else {
				c.breadcrumbs.push(c.data.breadcrumbs[i]);
			}
		}
		if (!pageFound) {
			c.breadcrumbs.push(thisPage);
		}
	}
	c.data.breadcrumbs = c.breadcrumbs;
	c.server.update();
	c.returnPath = '?';
	if (c.breadcrumbs.length > 1) {
		c.returnPath = c.breadcrumbs[c.breadcrumbs.length - 2].url;
	}
	shareReturnPath();
	$rootScope.$on('snhShareReturnPath', function() {
		shareReturnPath();
	});

	function shareReturnPath() {
		$rootScope.$broadcast('snhBreadcrumbs', {
			returnPath: c.returnPath
		});
	}
}

HTML:

<div aria-label="${Page breadcrumbs}" role="navigation">
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-sm">
  <li>
    <span><a ng-href="?id={{portal.homepage_dv}}">${Home}</a>
      <i aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></span>
  </li>
  <li ng-if="!c.expanded &amp;&amp; c.breadcrumbs &amp;&amp; c.breadcrumbs.length > 2">
    <span><a ng-click="c.expand()"><i class="fa fa-ellipsis-h" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
      <i aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></span>
  </li>
  <li ng-if="!c.breadcrumbs"><span><a style="display: inline;" class="a-disabled" aria-current="page" href>{{page.title}}</a></span></li>
  <li ng-if="c.expanded || ((c.breadcrumbs.length > 2  &amp;&amp; $index > c.breadcrumbs.length-3) || (c.breadcrumbs.length <= 2))" ng-repeat="item in c.breadcrumbs track by $index" >
    <span><a ng-if="!$last" ng-href="{{item.url}}">{{item.label}}</a>
      <a class="a-disabled" ng-if="$last" aria-current="page" href>{{item.label}}</a>
      <i aria-hidden="true" ng-if="!$last" class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></span>
  </li>
</ul>
</div>

Don't worry, it happens. Other question: did you saw if the user preferences was filled with the user that haven't the itil role?
