Use isMemberOf with Ajax

[Carlos52]

Hi everyone,

New developer here, I'm having problems creating a script to check if the current user is a member of a specific group, so that use that answer with other already existing scripts.

I'm trying to use "isMemberOf" on a Script include, then call it with a client script, without success.

I've consulted the answers on this previous post, but it doesn't to apply to my current situation.

Can anyone help me? I've just started working with GlideAjax and I'm still not sure how to pass that info, I've only used it with simpler scripts so far.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @Carlos @Carlos @Carlos    

Here is the script. It's tested.

OnSubmit Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }

    if (newValue != '' && newValue != oldValue) {

        var ajax = new GlideAjax('userUtils');
        ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkGroupMember');
        ajax.getXML(function(answer) {
            // make fields read-only here
            answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
            if (answer == 'true') {
                // make fields read-only here
            }
        });
    }
}

Script Include:

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

    checkGroupMember: function(){
		if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf("Developer"))  ////Developer is the group name
			return true;
	}
});

Hello,

Why do you want to use ismemberof in Script include.? can you tell your requirement.?

Hi Musab,

I've got a Client Script that applies some changes depending on the user that is accessing the ticket.

Currently I'm filtering the users by either role or sys_id, however it would be much easier to filter them by group, so I won't have to constantly update those scripts in the future.

Since isMemberOf is server side only, I figured ajax would be the correct way to access it?

Best regards

Tell me whole requirement, information you provided is not sufficient

[Carlos52]

Sure, thank you:

I have a client script that makes some fields "read only" depending on the user that's accessing the ticket.

Currently the script is making that decision by checking who is the user accessing the ticket, and if he has a certain role.

However that is not specific enough, instead I need to make sure the user belongs to a certain group, otherwise I will need to constantly update the script, since the many users have the same roles.

Additionally I will be able to use that Script Include in the future for other situations, so I assumed it would be the best option.

So what I've been trying to do is:

Use Script Include to check if the user is in a specific group;

Request that info with a Client Script;

Get a "True"/"False" answer, so I can do something else (displaying a simple message is fine, I'll figure out the rest myself).

Please tell me if you need any additional info.

Thanks again.
