Can I restrict selection of an option on a select box variable to certain role?

[Hola Ola]

Hello all, 

I am looking for a way, if there's any, to have the options in a select box be selectable by role. 

As shown in he attachment, I would like for only users with certain role OR group membership to ONLY be able to select (or see) the Purchase option. 

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

What you can do is, Check if the user has the role, if not then remove Purchase form the dropdown. 

Something like

    if (!g_user.hasRole('<ROLE NAME>')) {
        g_form.removeOption('<FIELD NAME>',"<CHOICE VALUE>");
    }

Thanks Anurag,

Please pardon my obvious lack of understanding, I did this and here's what I got.

Hi @Hola Ola 

You don't need to remove  function

function onLoad() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

  }

because of missing onload function you are getting the error.

Hi @Hola Ola,

You need to wrap the if statement within an onLoad function as follows:

function onLoad() {
    if (!g_user.hasRoleExactly('the_role_name_required')) {
        g_form.removeOption('the_field_name', 'the_value_name_to_remove');
    }
}
