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 ,

Since you need to pick the users and based on users/Roels you want to show/hide varaibles so this can be achieved throguh Catalog Client script. Utilize methods from Glide user class and write your client script.

If my answer helped you, please makr it- solution accepted.

@davidsmith 

since you want some variables to be shown/hidden based on group membership.

Please use onLoad catalog client script + GlideAjax

Hi @davidsmith ,

>> Create a Catalog UI Policy....

Set the Condition to check for the user's role:

g_user.hasRole('infosec_role')

Define the actions you want to apply, such as setting the variable to mandatory or read-only...

** You can also use a Catalog Client Script for Dynamic Visibility **

Use the following script to check the user's roles and adjust variable visibility accordingly:

function onLoad() {
// Check if the user has the 'infosec_role'
if (g_user.hasRole('infosec_role')) {
// Show the variable for Infosec staff
g_form.setDisplay('variable_name', true);
} else {
// Hide the variable for end users
g_form.setDisplay('variable_name', false);
}
}
