how to get logged in user group ?

[Naved Shaikh]

Hi I am new to ServiceNow. I want to set logged in user group automatically when form load. Tried with below but Not working :

Script Include:

 checkGroup: function() {
        var currentUser = gs.getUser();

        if (currentUser.isMemberOf("Group Name")) {

            var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

            gr.addActiveQuery('active=true'); // Filter to return active records.

            gr.query();

            while (gr.next()) {

                return gr.group.name;

            }
        }
    }

Client Script : Onload:

   var ga = new GlideAjax('Display_Organization_fALU_fNokia');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkGroup');
    ga.getXML(groupName);

    function groupName(response) {

        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        g_form.setValue('organization',answer);

    }

Hi Naved,

Quick Point : User can be part of multiple group 

 checkGroup: function() {
        var currentUser = gs.getUser();

        if (currentUser.isMemberOf("Group Name")) {

            var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

            gr.addActiveQuery('active=true'); // Filter to return active records.

            gr.query();

            while (gr.next()) {

                return gr.group.name; // Do you have Field called Group in User Table if yes return

return gr.group+"";
            }
        }
    }

Client Script : Onload:

   var ga = new GlideAjax('Display_Organization_fALU_fNokia');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkGroup');
    ga.getXML(groupName);

    function groupName(response) {

        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

alert(answer) - let me know what is in the alert
        g_form.setValue('organization',answer);

    }

Hi Naved,

What for case if user is part of multiple groups? You still want this to happen only for particular group as in line:       if (currentUser.isMemberOf("Group Name")) {

Hello @Naved Shaikh 

If you are using catalog item form and setting currently logged in users single group in "Organization" reference field, then you can directly use below code in default value - 

 javascript: gs.getUser().getMyGroups();

In other cases, kindly use Chandu's code.
