set the user criteria of a catalog item

[NiloferS]

I have written the above script in 'Available for" related list in a catalog item, so that catalog will be visible only gor internal users. But its not working as expected. Kindly suggest.

Hi,

Try this

var user = GlideUser.getUserByID(user_id);
if (user.u_type_of_user == 'Internal') {
    answer = true;
} else {
    answer = false;
}

Couple things I wanted to note and verify. Is your Value of "Internal" correct?  Are you sure that is the exact value? You should verify also that what you are getting as a value to compare against In addition, if you are having problems testing it, this may be your issue. You should not be using gs.getUser() in User Criteria as it can cause issues in testing. Here is a link to the Docs page and a screenshot of the relevant info to explain why.

Hi @NiloferS ,

You can use this script

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addQuery('sys_id', user_id);
gr.addQuery('u_type_of_user', 'Internal');
gr.query();

return gr.next();

You have not considered the logged in user. 

The query is not right.
