Hello @Gillerla Rajesh 

As per your recent feedback you can refer the below OnLoad client script.

function onLoad() {
    // Check if the user has the specified role
    var hasRole = g_user.hasRole('admin');

    // Get the reference to the field
    var field = g_form.getControl('description');

    // Check if the user has the role and set the display accordingly
    if (hasRole) {
        // If the user has the role, show the decrypted value
        field.type = 'text'; // Use 'text' type to display the decrypted value
      
    } else {
        // If the user doesn't have the role, show the encrypted value
        field.type = 'password'; // Use 'password' type to display the encrypted value
    
    }
}

Please mark my answer as helpful and the solution accepted if it serves the purpose.

Hello @Gillerla Rajesh ,

Yes I know the difference between encrypt and decrypt and as per my  understanding only I have answered to your requirement,

Like you want to show field value is encrypted or decrypted based on the users role and this decrypted value means not the actual decrypt word you want to show it like it happens with password field with dot or star

So according to that only I have provided you the on load client script which will check the role and based on that it will mask the field valu if needed.

Correct me if I misunderstood anything.

Thank you for sharing the image for the reference and that's exactly will done if you use my client script which I shared you in first place.

Have you tried it?

Hello @Gillerla Rajesh ,

No worries at all and you can refer to the code below in which I just have added group condition with the help of display business rule and client script, so either group or role will be required.

Display Business Rule:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
	g_scratchpad.grp = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('TM.ServiceNow'); 

})(current, previous);

On Change Client Script: 

function onLoad() {
    // Check if the user has the specified role
    var hasRole = g_user.hasRole('admin');

    // Check if the user is a member of the specified group
    // g_scratchpad.grp will be true if the user is a member
    var isMemberOfGroup = g_scratchpad.grp === true;

    // Get the reference to the field
    var field = g_form.getControl('short_description');

    // Check if the user has the role or is a member of the group and set the display accordingly
    if (hasRole || isMemberOfGroup) {
        g_form.addInfoMessage("inside if");
        // If the user has the role or is a member of the group, show the decrypted value
        field.type = 'text'; // Use 'text' type to display the decrypted value
    } else {
        g_form.addInfoMessage("inside else");
        // If the user doesn't have the role or is not a member of the group, show the encrypted value
        field.type = 'password'; // Use 'password' type to display the encrypted value
    }
}

Please let me know if you still face any issues.

Mark ✅Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
