How to check the logged in user is a member of a group and group has a role in client side?

[Dinesh Kumar1]

Hi,

I want to display a field 'TeamName' if a current logged in user is a member of current assignment group of an incident and if that group has a role 'roleA'.

How can I achieve this in UI policy? Please provide sample scripts if there is any

Thanks in advance,

Dinesh

You are looking for information that requires server-side calls. The main method I have seen to accomplish this is by having a Business Rule that runs on display and populates g_scratchpad variables. Those variables then become available to use in client-type scripts.

//Business Rule: Populate Incident Scratchpad
g_scratchpad.group_member = gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group); //returns true or false
g_scratchpad.group_role = gs.getUser().hasRole('roleA'); //returns true or false

//UI Policy Script execute if true
function onCondition(){
     if(g_scratchpad.group_member == 'true' && g_scratchpad.group_role == 'true'){
          g_form.setDisplay('TeamName', 'true');
     }
}

I hope this helps!

Thank you for this very useful information!  I did have to modify the code to work for me so I thought I'd share in case others ran into the same issue.  For mine, I had to remove the quotes around the conditions.  Hope it helps and thank you again!

//UI Policy Script execute if true
function onCondition(){
     if(g_scratchpad.group_member == true && g_scratchpad.group_role == true){
          g_form.setDisplay('TeamName', 'true');
     }
}
