Set form section only for specific group readonly

[JohnDF]

Hi everyone,

my requirement is that only one specific group has readonly access on a form section and the fields on this section. How this possible to hide the section or the fields for all other users except the users in the specific group. Its about 20 fields on the form.

Thanks for your help.

@jaheerhattiwale thanks for reply,

thts sound interessting. 

What is in my code the problem? Still all user can see the section.

var ITcheckUserGroup = Class.create();
ITcheckUserGroup.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
	isUserMemberOfGroup: function(){
return gs.getUser().isMemberOf("SLIR_Bearbeiter.SN");
},
    type: 'ITcheckUserGroup'
});

Client callable script incude

And here the client script:

function onLoad() {
var ga = new GlideAjax('ITcheckUserGroup'); //is a client callable script include, you can create new or use existing one
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isUserMemberOfGroup');
ga.getXML(hideSection);
}

function hideSection(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

//If user is not member of group then hide section
if(answer == "false"){
g_form.setSectionDisplay('ILV', false);
}
}

Still visible. What could be the problem?

@JohnDF "ILV" should be in small letters "ilv". That should fix your issue.

g_form.setSectionDisplay('ilv', false);

[jaheerhattiwale]

@JohnDF The section should be as forllows in g_form.setSectionDisplay() function:

If section name is ILV the the above function expects ilv

If section name is "ILV Section" the the above function expectes ilv_section

Space will ve replaced with _ and capital letter to small letter
