Allow user with a specific role to be able to add/remove group member for group with specific type

Atheher Fathima — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 14:41:03 GMT

Hi All,

The Requirement is that if user has a role "custom_admin"(this role has been created in a custom app) and the group type is either patch or ops, then this user should be able to add or remove members from the group. to achieve this, i have written 3 ACL's on sys_user_grmember table with operation as read, write, delete and create and have defined this condition and roles. I am able to view the group members, it also gives the new button on gr member table, but doesnt give the edit option. I am also able to select the member and delete from list view post impersonating. could you please assist on how i can achieve the edit option to show up on the groupmember table in list view of groups as per the condition?

i do not see any error or warning in the ACL debugging as well

Hi @Atheher Fathima ,

Check the List Control for edit button setting/configuration on group members form , if there is any condition or role based permissions applied.

@AshishKM ,
no we do not have any condition defined. I tried to define the condition as below, but it did not work either

var answer = false; // Show the 'Edit' button by default

if (gs.hasRole('admin')) {
// Check if the 'type' field of the group matches the specified values
if (current.group.type == 'a71806121be7d11068ff86e3604bcb1c' || current.group.type == '0024365e1babd11068ff86e3604bcbaa') {
answer = true; // Allow 'Edit' button for users with the specified role and when the 'type' condition is met
}
}

answer;

Hi,

I think , this script code from the write ACL.

are you sure about the If condition check in your code , as you said there is "custom_admin" role but condition is checking "admin" role.

if (gs.hasRole('admin')) {

-Thanks,

Hi @AshishKM ,

Sorry about the confusion, the code i shared was something i had written under omit edit condition on group member table edit list.
below is the snippet of the ACL . i am masking the name of the role

I did verify that the role is entered correctly in the omit edit condition
