User criteria to restrict by country shown in user location

[shembop]

How would I format a script to restrict to a location's country value based on a users location record.

I am using Country to limit who can see certain things in the Service Catalog, and having trouble getting it to pull the right info.

Hi,

This script can be used as a User Criteria to validate the country of the user's location.

Country('Australia');

function Country(country) {

  var retVal;

  var usr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

  usr.get(gs.getUserID());

  if (usr.location.country == country) {

          retVal = true;

  } else {

          retVal = false;

  }

  return retVal;

}

Regards

Niklas

Hello,

I find this helpful. How should I modify the script, if I need to set more than 1 country?

Thanks!

Hi,
There are different ways to accomplish that but for 2 countries it could be done like this.

Country('Australia','China');

function Country(country,country2) {

  var retVal;

  var usr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

  usr.get(gs.getUserID());

  if (usr.location.country == country || country2) {

          retVal = true;

  } else {

          retVal = false;

  }

  return retVal;

}

Hi Shembop,

You can also try this

answer = false;

var logUser = gs.getUserID();

var gr1 = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

gr1.addQuery('sys_id',logUser);

gr1.query();

if (gr1.next())

{

if (gr1.location.country == "India"){

  return true;

}

  else {

  return false;

}

}
