UI policy to show fields to users of a particular group

[saint]

Hi Experts,

I want to create a UI policy to show few fields to users from particular groups. Please suggest how should I approach it.

Hi @saint 

UI policy would not be the right choice for what you are trying to achieve if they are not stored in some field of the form

Please create a read ACL for those fields and you can write script in ACL to only allow users of particular groups as done below

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(group_name/group_sysid) || gs.getUser().isMemberOf(group2_name/group2_sysid))
{
answer= true;
}
else
{
answer=false;
}

Hi @saint ,

1. Create the field on the form as needed.

2. Create the UI policy as below

just create a UI policy according to below for the specified assignment group (I have utilized incident table):

Afterwards create a UI Policy Action to make the field visible:

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.

Hi Manmohan,

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there a way to apply ACLs for a particular form view??

[Manmohan K · Accepted solution]

No, Not possible in ACL

An alternate approach would be to write a on load client script and it can work for a particular view.

You can use GlideAjax and call a script include from client script to check if logged in user is member of certain group .Based on the result returned by Script Include, you can show or hide fields on the form
