Show Catalog variable to a particular User criteria

[rohanbhatia]

I have a catalog item, 

There is a variable named cateogry and i am having 3 User criterias - critera x, y, z. I want to make category variable visible only to users in user criteria z. How can i achieve this without making a seperate catalog item.

The following code on Server side can give you list of the user criteria for the current logged in user:

SNC.UserCriteriaLoader.getAllUserCriteria()

You can give it a try on "Scripts - Background" first To check the output.
You can then use this function in a script include which you may call from a client script from your catalog item. Based on the results, you can determine if to make the category variable visible.

Hi @rohanbhatia ,

You can create a Client callable script include and a catalog client script for this

SI

var testMeetsUserCriteria = Class.create();
testMeetsUserCriteria.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    checkUserClient: function() {
        return this.checkUser(this.getParameter('arrayOfUserCriteria').split(','), this.getParameter('userId'));
    },
    checkUser: function(arrayOfUserCriteria, user) {
        user = user ? user : gs.getUserID();
        return sn_uc.UserCriteriaLoader.userMatches(user, arrayOfUserCriteria);
    },
    type: 'testMeetsUserCriteria'
});

Client Script

var a = new GlideAjax('testMeetsUserCriteria');
a.addParam('arrayOfUserCriteria', 'ebb789d3ff4131003f07ffffffffff3f,d2d2e20557130300d873ac71ef94f9aa,fd8f94c3b58b8110f8779c9460b514ce' /*Comma separated usercriteria sysids*/ )
a.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkUserClient');
// a.addParam('userId',g_user.userID)
a.getXMLAnswer(function(ans) {
    if (ans == 'false') {
        g_form.setDisplay('variable_name', false)
    }

});
