Restricting manual approvals to specific users

[mike_m35]

Hello, I'm looking to restrict the manual approval options to only users with the role of "approver_user". Currently, when we manually add a new approval it shows the entire list of users which is causing errors and the directive has been changed to "don't show anyone who shouldn't be approving". 

It appears as though people suggested copying and overriding the "Edit" UI Action on the page, but as I was looking at it, I'm not entirely sure where I would update the script or what it would contain. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks! 

Edit UI Action for reference:

Hi @mike_m35 ,

You can add this 'roles=approver_user' in the below line

uri.set('sysparm_query', 'roles=approver_user'); depends on your requirement.

If you don't have a requirement to restrict for 'cmdb_data_management_task' table then you can only modify the line number 18 in your screenshot.

Thank you! This did exactly what we needed, for those who may come across this later, I was able to add additional queries into this to limit not only on the approver_user role but also matching company fields. The updated query is now:

'roles=approver_user^company=javascript: current.company'

Thanks again!
