Variable or Variable Set Visible by Role in Service Catalog

[Erik Nelson]

Hello!

I have a variable set that I'd like to make visible to only those with the a specific role assigned.   I've tried various combinations of UI Catalog Policy and Catalog Client Scripts looking at the variable set (preferred setup if possible for ease of re-use) and a Catalog Item, but the best I've been able to accomplish is making the question itself mandatory/non-mandatory.   I'm using versions of (onCondition also having been changed to onLoad and the variable_set also swapped out to the specific variable_name):

function onCondition() {

  if (g_user.hasRole('role')) {

  g_form.setDisplay('variable_set', true);

  g_form.setMandatory('variable_name', true);

  }

}

The variable name is Mandatory if the variable set is visible and has two items assigned to it that are visible based on out-of-the-box Catalog UI Policy setup.   The variable_name itself is set up as non-mandatory since that will override the scripting to make it appear regardless.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Erik Nelson

Thank you Amlan!! This is exactly what I needed.   Also on a side note, it works perfectly assigning it to the Variable Set instead of directly to the Catalog Item.

Here is what I did:

1. Create a CheckBox variable. 

2. Set its default value to javascript:gs.getUser().hasRole('role')

3. Hide this CheckBox variable through UI Policy.

4. Create a UI Policy to show the variable that you want to display if the user has the required role.  Use the value of the CheckBox variable in When to apply condition.
