Catalog UI Policy

[davidsmith]

Hello,

I am setting up  new Catalog Item that allows users to request software to be checked by Infosec staff so that they can check on privacy settings and so on. I have some varibales/questions that are visible to the user and some that need to be on visible to the Infosec member of staff. How do I acheive this via a Catalog UI Policy?

Hi @davidsmith,

it would be easier to achieve this by Catalog Client Script rather than Catalog UI Policy Action(s)..

You can refer to this g_user:

hasRole(String role, Boolean includeDefaults)

Returns true if the current user has the specified role or the admin role.

Parameters

Name Type Description

role	String	Role to check.
includeDefaults	Boolean	Optional. Flag that indicates whether to include default roles, such as snc_internal and snc_external, in the request. For additional information on roles, see Exploring user administration. Default: false

Returns

Type Description

Boolean

Returns true if the current user has the specified role or the admin role; otherwise returns false.

Example

var isInternal = g_user.hasRole('snc_internal', true);

Example

var isItil = g_user.hasRole('itil');

hasRoleExactly(String role, Boolean includeDefaults)

Determines whether the current user has the specified role.

Hi @GlideFather Thank you for your help on this. It does make sense to me but I just need time to implement and test.
