How to restrict Edit button in the related list based on role and state field?

[Community Alums]

Hello,

I want to restrict the edit button in the related list of incident available on the Problem form.

For user with “problem_requester” role the edit button should only appear when the state is “New”. For the rest of the users with role like Problem_manager, admins it should be visible all the time. I have tried to edit the list control but it is not working as it should be.

Edit roles added in the list control:

Scripts in omit edit condition:

wherein 1 is a value of New.

But the problem is servicenow considers only first condition “parent.state != '1' “ and ignores “gs.hasRole('problem_requester')” resulting access restriction for the admins as well when state is not new.

Please help to resolve this issue.

Thanks & regards,

Jainil Shah

Try this 

if ((parent.state==1 && gs.hasRole('problem_requester')) || gs.hasRole('admin') || gs.hasRole('problem_manager')){
	answer = false;
}else
	{
		answer = true;
	}

Id suggest that you dont use Edit Roles, put everything in the Omit Edit Conditions. That would give you more control.
