Hi @ServiceNow40 

Option 1: Using a UI Policy

1. Navigate to System UI > UI Policies.

2. Create a new UI Policy.

3. Set the following fields:

   • Table: Change Request [change_request] (or whichever table you're using)
   • Conditions: Add conditions as needed (e.g., to target specific records)
   • OnLoad: Set to true (checked)

4. In the Script section, write a script to hide the "View" dropdown based on the user role.

   Here is a sample script:

// This script will run when the form is loaded
if (!gs.hasRole('admin')) {
// Hide the view selector if the user is not an admin
g_form.addClassName('view_name', 'hidden');
}

Option 2: Using a Client Script

If you want more control or want to target specific conditions dynamically, you can also use a Client Script.

1. Navigate to System UI > Client Scripts.

2. Create a new Client Script.

3. Set the following fields:

   • Table: Change Request [change_request]
   • Type: onLoad

4. Use this script to hide the views for non-admin users:

function onLoad() {
// Check if the user does not have admin role
if (!g_user.hasRole('admin')) {
// Hide the view selector (UI element)
var viewSelector = document.querySelector('.view-picker-button');
if (viewSelector) {
viewSelector.style.display = 'none';
}
}
}

Explanation:

• gs.hasRole('admin'): Checks if the current user has the admin role on the server-side (UI Policy Script).
• g_user.hasRole('admin'): Checks the user’s role on the client-side (Client Script).
• view-picker-button: This is the CSS class used for the "Views" dropdown button in the UI. The querySelector() method selects the element, and then it is hidden using style.display.

Option 3: Using ACL (Access Control)

If you want a more secure approach, consider using an ACL rule that controls who can see certain parts of the UI based on roles.

1. Navigate to System Security > Access Control (ACL).
2. Create a new rule for change_request table and use conditions or scripts to deny view access for non-admins.

Would you prefer UI Policy, Client Script, or ACL?
