Making a field read only for user with role using UI policy

amacqueen — Wed, 08 Nov 2017 13:19:32 GMT

I'm trying to make a field read only for a user with a specific role.

In the script associated with the UI Policy I have

function onCondition() {

gs.hasRole(x_9004_invoice_que.mgr);

}

We only have one user with this role however it is making the field read only for all users

Appreciate any assistance with this

Create a ACL to make the field readonly. It also restricts list view.

Hello Angus,

is not a best practice but why u don't do a cliente script that with a if condition on role set fiel read only :

if(gs.hasRole(x_9004_invoice_que.mgr)==true){ g_form.setReadOnly(fieldName, true)};

Hi Agnus,

You can try with below script

if(g_user.hasRole('x_9004_invoice_que.mgr')){

g_form.setReadOnly('field_name',true);

}

Please mark correct/helpful based on the impact of the response.

Thanks

HI Angus,

You can achive this fucntinality using 3 ways

1) ACL - Highly recommended

2) Client script

3) Ui policy

1) ACL:

Check the below link

restricting access to certain fields on a form

2) Client script

function onLoad() {

var isXYZUser = g_user.hasRole('x_9004_invoice_que.mgr)');

if (isXYZUser){

g_form.setReadonly('request_date',true);

//Similarly make all the required fields read only

}

function onCellEdit() {

Implement the above kind of logic here to handle the list view locking

}

UI Plocliy

In 'Execute if true'-

var isAdmin = g_user.hasRole('x_9004_invoice_que.mgr');

if(isAdmin)

{

g_form.setReadOnly('fields1', true);

}

In 'Execute if false'-

g_form.setReadOnly('fields1', false);

Was hoping to make it a bit simpler but that was the right answer.

Many thanks
