Assign an ACL role to a user in the Assigned to variable on Catalog items

[humblecommitted]

Hello Community,

I was wondering if it was possible to grant a user's account rights/roles when they have been inputted into the Assigned to field of Requests.  

The situation is, I have locked down certain variables on the request form to not allow any user to make changes to them.

I would like to create a condition where the users name inputted into the Assigned to field will be also granted the role to edit the locked down variable.

In this instance we have secured the Work start/end times.   We would like the person in the Assigned to field to be able to make changes to the work start/end times.

Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.  

Sincerely,

Orlando Galindo

Here is the solution:

How to query a certain user's role

answer = ifScript();       
           function ifScript() {       
                 //answer = 'false';      
   var userID = gs.getUserID();       
             
   gs.log("work start check for " + userID + " assigned_to " + current.assigned_to);       
     if (userID == current.assigned_to) {       
     return 'true'; }       
             
     // query to see if userID has role change management, if so return true      
       
   var cm_role = new GlideRecord('sys_user_role');   
   cm_role.addQuery('name', "change_management");   
   cm_role.query();   
   while (cm_role.next()) {   
   
   
   var roles = new GlideRecord('sys_user_has_role');             
   roles.addQuery('user', userID);                 
   roles.addQuery('role', cm_role.sys_id);             
   roles.query();             
   while (roles.next()){   
   gs.log("work start role check for " + userID + " has role " + cm_role.name);   
   return true;     
   }   
   }   
   gs.log("end of work start role check for " + userID + ", no writing allowed" );   
       return false;           
}
