Getting related lists in a form to restrict access

divvi_vamsi — Wed, 18 May 2016 01:52:14 GMT

How can we refer to related lists in a form to restrict their access to specific group of people?

Thanks,

Divya

You can write an onLoad client script and check for the roles and use this method to hide the related list. You will get the related list name by going on to the list and configure -> list control as shown below

g_form.hideRelatedList('related list name');

For example, if I want to hide Task SLA related list on Incident, I would write

g_form.hideRelatedList('task_sla.task');

That's right but the entire form is being hidden with this script...

The condition given by me initially was:

Type: UI Page

Operation: Read

Name: Incident

Role: ITIL //for testing purpose

Later now I changed that to

Type: Record

Operation: Read

Name: Incident.None

Role: ITIL

You wanted to hide the related list right?

Yes, just the related list...

I did not get you. g_form.hideRelatedList('related list name') only hides the related list you specify, how can it hide the entire form??

Can you attach a screenshot.

I think the script you have is ACL. You should have a client script instead

S, i have this question...Is the script in ACL just for Boolean evaluation? or can it be used to perform other tasks as form field hiding as well? Because I don't wish to have any client scripts at this time...and wanted to enforce some constraints on form...

Thanks

Divya,

Yes you can write script in ACL's, but you can only restrict users from accessing the table and fields in the table. If you want to restrict related lists to certain users, client script is the only way, you cannot do it by writing ACL's

Divya,

What exactly is your requirement? Can you elaborate your requirement, I will try to see what I can do.

There a 2 sets of people...and a related list on an incident form..

We have to restrict access to one set of people while the other set can view and work (edit) on the same related list,

using ACL.

Divya,

You can restrict the records in the related list by creating a read ACL on the related list table.

For example, I can create a read ACL on task_sla table and restrict itil users from viewing that records

For admin:

For itil:

Hi Abhinay.

Could you please send us the full page as i am not able to achieve my problem.

The EDIT option should be visible only to Demand role in my case.

I am able to hide the Records but i still see EDIT option.

And EDIT button is available under 3 of the Related list.(we should restrict from one related list , Say Parent).

Please suggest.

Thank you very much in advance.
