How can you get manager name based on logged-in user?

[Raji9]

In the scoped application,  I am not able to use 'javascript:gs.getUser().getManagerID()' for to set   default value of the current manager.  it is not supported in the scoped application.  Is there any easiest way  to set the default value?

Thanks

This worked for me. I was trying to populate manager Name & manager level of the logged in user. This script helped me.

Worked well for me, even for a Record Producer on a Reference Variable.

Thanks! 🙂

Hi Ankur,

Quick question - where do you add this script? I'm creating a basic catalog item where I am looking for:

1. Requester Name
2. Department
3. Location
4. Manager

I got the first 3 working - but can't figure out how to get the manager.

Catalog Client Script.

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   
}
    var id = g_form.getValue('requested_for');
    var ga = new GlideAjax('PopUserDetails');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'findValues');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_user_name', id);
    ga.getXML(function ServerResponseParse(response) {
        var result = response.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("result");
        var department = result[0].getAttribute("department");
        var user_id = result[0].getAttribute("user_id");
        var location = result[0].getAttribute("location");
        g_form.setValue('department', department);
        g_form.setValue('user_id', user_id);
        g_form.setValue('site', location);

    });

Script Include:

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

    findValues: function() {

        var result = this.newItem("result");
        result.setAttribute("message", "Returning user details");
        var userInfo = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_name');
        var userDetails = {};
        var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

        gr.addQuery('sys_id', userInfo);

        gr.query();

        if (gr.next()) {


            result.setAttribute("department", gr.department.getDisplayValue());
            result.setAttribute("location", gr.location.getDisplayValue());
            result.setAttribute("user_id", gr.user_name);
			result.setAttribute("title", gr.title);

        }

        return result;

    },
    type: 'PopUserDetails'
});

Not sure how to get the manager added in!

any help would be amazing.

Thanks
