Script to find whether users belong to a particular group or not.

[pratik_kumar]

Hi All,

I have a requirement in which I need to validate whether "opended_by" field user is part of a particular group or not.

Complete requirement;-

I need to create a breakdown in PA, so that we can use that breakdown to filter out opened_by users belongs to a particular group.

So i thought of writing a script for breakdown mapping.

Kindly help me on this.

You can find out if the currently logged in user is the member of a particular group using isMemberOf() from the gs.getUser() method.

HI Pratik,

Client Side:

var userSysId = g_form.getValue('opended_by'); // client side i.e. client script etc

var groupName = 'CAB Approval'; // for example add your group name here

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

gr.addQuery('user', userSysId);

gr.addQuery('group.name', 'groupName');

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

alert("User is member of group");

}

else{

alert("User is not member of group");

}

Server Side:

var userSysId   = current.opended_by;

var ourUser = gs.getUser();

ourUser = ourUser. ­getUserByID(userSysId);

var isMember = ourUser. ­isMemberOf( ­'RMA Approvers'); // add your group name here

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

Hello Pratik,

Try the below script

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident')

gr.query();

while(gr.next()){

var grp = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

grp.addQuery('group', 'GROUP_SYS_ID');

grp.addQuery('user', gr.opened_by);

grp.query();

if(grp.next()){

gs.log('Is member of group')

}

else{

                gs.log('Is not a member of group')

}

}
