Determine if a user from a variable has ITIL role

[Joe Taylor]

I have an offboarding workflow triggered by a catalog item.

There is a variable in the form called "employee_name".

I would to setup a task in my workflow if this user has an "itil" role.

I can't seem to figure out how to get this information from the variables.

I can populate a variable called Employee role from the sys_user table attribute "roles" on the form, but it comes up blank.

I'm would like a recommendation on the best way to handle this requirement.

I can't seem to get the syntax right.

Is this script correct?

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {

if ((gs.getUser().getUserByID(employee_name).hasRole('itil')){

return 'yes';

}

return 'no';

}

Syntax looks fine. Just need to add current.variables.

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {

if ((gs.getUser().getUserByID(current.variables.employee_name).hasRole('itil')){

return 'yes';

}

return 'no';

}
