Views and View Rules

Ashutosh Munot1 · ‎05-06-2016

Hi guys,

i have one basic question,

i read articles on wiki about View and View Rules.

But i am not getting exactly how can i have someone view a specific view.

i have one view on incident and i want it to be viewed by one particular user with particular role.

For ex: if i have role abc, he should view xyz view.

Suppose you don't want ITIL role users to show the Urgency field on incident form.

Then go to access control --> create new

ACL Name : Incident.urgency, Operation Read check advance.

In script write :

if(gs.hasRole('ITIL') {

answer = true;

}

else {

answer = false;

}

Hi Ashutosh,

You can do this with the help of view rules. You will have to write a query and based on the current login user if he is having certain role then only particular view will be shown for that table/form.

Let me know if you want me to write a code for you.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

To show a particular view to particular users you need to create a view rule. But main difficulty in this is, View rules are not role based. Views rules are on condition based.

From Geneva onward we can write script in view rules, You can write role condition in that script. Prior ti Geneva Read ACL is the best way to achieve the functionality.

Write a read ACL on table and according to Role restrict user visibility from unwanted field.

Thanks
