Restricting access to the work notes field for some ITIL users

Heather White

Good morning community,

        I have been asked to restrict a group of ITIL users from seeing the work notes field on the incident form.   What is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Heather White

Hi Heather,



I recommend ACLs in this case. Grant read access to that field for those who need it, the rest will be restricted.

I would recommend against the client script idea. It's more complex and in UI16, the work notes field is part of a formatter, not a discrete field like "number" so you would need to get in to DOM manipulation, which is always a bad idea.


Oh yes, absolutely Thanks ctomasi
