sp.canReadRecord method

[raed1]

Hey guys,

I am trying to figure out a bug in my code. Can someone tell me what property does the canReadRecord method check against, on a catalog item to return a true or a false value? I have checked roles, available for, not available for on the catalog item, but they don't seem to have any effect on the outcome. Thank you.

Can you share code?

Hey Mike, this is the code. I have bolded the if statement with the canReadRecord

while (catalog_items.next()) {
   if (!$sp.canReadRecord("sc_cat_item", catalog_items.sys_id.getDisplayValue()))
      continue; // user does not have permission to see this item

   var item = {};
   item.name = catalog_items.name.getDisplayValue();
   item.short_description = catalog_items.short_description.getDisplayValue();
   item.picture = catalog_items.picture.getDisplayValue();

   //Item Price handling for dollar currency, so that the $0.00 check in the HTML can evaluate to true if prize is 0
   item.price = catalog_items.price.getDisplayValue();
   item.price = item.price.substring(item.price.indexOf('$'));

   item.sys_id = catalog_items.sys_id.getDisplayValue();
   items.push(item);
}

Fixed! It was an sc_cat_item read ACL. I had to add the role there
