Set Variable to read only based on role

[hongsok]

Hello all,

I have a catalog item and I would to set some of the variables to read only based on the login user role.

I created the following OnLoad client script to set the variable to read only if the login user does not has "hari_admin" role.

The script is not working. Could someone help me to take a look? 

__________________________

function onLoad() {

var hariUser = g_user.hasRoleExactly('hari_admin)');
if (hariUser) {
g_form.setReadonly('list_of_assets', false);

}}

__________________________

Regards,

Hong

Looks like either there is another script/ policy which is there on Asset field or backend name of asset field is incorrect, this is very simple requirement please check again. Try below once.

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var hariUser = g_user.hasRoleExactly('hari_admin');
	
if (!hariUser) {
g_form.setReadOnly('list_of_assets', true);
}
}

@hongsok 

it should be like this

function onLoad() {

	var hariUser = g_user.hasRoleExactly('hari_admin)');
	if (hariUser.toString() == 'true') {
		g_form.setReadonly('list_of_assets', false);
	}
}

Hi Ankur,

It is not working.

EDIT/UPDATE:
One of my teammates put me onto the right path so maybe this info will help you too:
g_user is instantiated upon login (meaning it's session-based, which I did not know). So if you make any changes to the user record (including adding/removing roles), the g_user script isn't going to pull the right data. Once I logged out and logged back in, the script worked as-expected!


ORIGINAL RESPONSE:

I'm also running into this issue in a Client Script for a Catalog Item.

UI Type is set to All
Applies on a Catalog Item view is True
Applies on Requested Items is False
Applies on Catalog Tasks is False

And I cannot get around it by using "hasRole" because the fulfillers using this Catalog Item will not have the 'admin' role.

I used console.logs to check what's being returned, and it returns false.

screenshot of the console.log from the browser

client script - including the console.logs

function onLoad() {
	console.log("onLoad Script for checking the role");
	console.log(g_user.hasRoleExactly('u_custom_role'));
   if(g_user.hasRoleExactly('u_custom_role')){
		g_form.setReadOnly('Requested_For_details',false);
	}
}

Note: I changed the name of our custom role, but I directly copy/pasted the role directly from the XML of the sys_user_role record into my script so I know the problem is NOT due to a transcription error.
