Add condition to UI Policy to check if user who is logged in has role 'admin'

[Kasia5]

Hi All!

I have a Catalog UI Policy which make one field in INC form read only.

I want to add condition to check if currently logged in user has role 'admin' to exclude this users to make them able to change this field if it will be needed.

So condition will sth like: if user has not role admin then make field read only.

How can I achieve this?

Hi @Kasia5 ,

you can achieve this by utilizing the `g_user` object which can be used to retrieve information about the currently logged in user. You can use its `hasRole()` method to check if the user has the 'admin' role.

Here's a sample code for your condition:

if (!g_user.hasRole('admin')) {
// code to make the field read only
}

You need to put this code in the 'Script' field of the Catalog UI Policy. This script will run on the client side, and the field will be made read only if the user is not an admin.

Hi Kasia,

You can use g_user.hasRole('admin') to check it. If it returns true mean user is an admin.

If my answer helps then please mark it correct.

Thanks,

Utpal

Hi @Kasia5 You can handle this  with client script

example:

    if(g_user.hasRoleExactly('admin')) // login user has admin role?

    {

        g_form.setReadonly('fieldname',false);// readonly false

    }

else{

    g_form.setReadonly('fieldname',true);//set field readonly

}

Hi there,

I'm confused, is this about Catalog or not? Because you do mention Catalog UI Policy, though you also mention field in INC form. That sounds odd.

Do you mean UI Policy instead? If so, would using Acess Controls be a more reliable, safer, and better performing option for you?
