Access Control List read records Created By User

[tharzarob]

How do I set the read ACL on a table to only allow users to read records that they have created?   I have been trying to add the following conditions without luck

Created By is javascript.gs.getUserName() OR Created By is empty

I am working in the Geneva instance.

We're all wrong! Abhinay is right in that it's a string, not a sys_id.

It's the user's login name, not their email. gs.getUser() doesn't have a method to return the user_name field.

You'd have to write your own little script include:

Name: getMyUserName

function getMyUserName() {

        var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

        if (u.get(gs.getUserID())

                  return u.user_name;

        return;

}

and call it with

Created By | is | javascript:getMyUserName()

Hi Chuck,

I think it's not required as we already have OOTB one gs.getUserName()

I THOUGHT SO!!! t! It's not in the wiki, it's on the developer API site.

Best practice is to use conditions before scripts, so...

Created by | is | javascript:gs.getUserName()

I believe it is there on the wiki too.
