Hide catalog variable if logged in user has “Is Manager” as true

[Dee123]

Trying to design a catalog form where if the it checks the logged in user - and if that user’s “Is Manager” property = true, then one of the attachment variable that required for manager approval is hidden.

From what I’ve found online this needs to be done as client script instead of catalog UI policy - is that correct? I’m having trouble scripting this one and would be grateful for any ideas. Thanks!

Hi @Dee123 ,

you can create a catalog client script  please follow below steps  -

• Name: Hide Manager Attachment
• Catalog Item: Select your item
• UI Type: All or Desktop
• Type: onLoad

function onLoad() {
    // Get the logged-in user's sys_id
    var userSysId = g_user.userID;

    // Call a GlideAjax script to check if the user is a manager
    var ga = new GlideAjax('CheckIfManager');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isUserManager');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_user_id', userSysId);
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {
        var isManager = response;

        if (isManager == 'true') {
            // Hide the attachment variable (replace 'attachment_variable_name' with actual name)
            g_form.setDisplay('attachment_variable_name', false);
        }
    });
}

 Please mark it as complete if this resolved your query and close the thread .
