restricting access to certain fields on a form

[Albert Chan]

Hello,

I have a requirement that the status field on the cmdb_ci form should only be editable by an admin. We have a role that allows general editing on this form with an ACL so I tried to create a UI policy to make the required field read only, but I guess the ACL trumps the UI policy because I didn't get my intended effect.

Is there a script that I can add to the ACL to make this field read-only? I am not familiar with scripting at all, but I am not seeing an alternative.

Thanks in advance,

Albert

The above screenshot will tell you how to do a ACL on Status field for write access.

Thanks, Mani. So If I want to restrict more than one field on this form, do I create additional ACLs or is there a script that I can write or?

In that ACL you need to add two roles (admin and the other role whom you want to give access) into the Roles list below that form . "Or"

Remove all roles from related list and write following kind of code in the script field

answer = false ;

if(gs.hasRole('admin') || gs.hasRole("Role2")){                                                        

answer =   true ;

}

//replace Role2 with the name of other role whom you want to give access
