g_user.harRole() , g_user.hasRoleExactly() and g_user.hasRoles()

[Vinayak10]

Hii folks 

i am confused in g_user.harRole() , g_user.hasRoleExactly() and g_user.hasRoles() . what is exactly difference between this 3 methods?

[Nithin12]

Hi Vinayak,

All these three are used for checking whether the user has role are not with slight difference.

g_user.hasRole():True if the current user has the role specified, false otherwise. ALWAYS returns true if the user has the 'admin' role.

Usage: g_user.hasRole('itil')

g_user.hasRoleExactly():True if the current user has the exact role specified, false otherwise, regardless of 'admin' role.

Usage: g_user.hasRoleExactly('itil')

g_user.hasRoles():True if the current user has at least one role specified, false otherwise.

Usage: g_user.hasRoles('itil','admin')

Hope this clears you.

 g_user.hasRoles('itil','admin') is not a correct way to use.

hasRoles(Boolean includeDefaults)
Returns true if the current user has any role.

var yesRole = g_user.hasRoles();

The ServiceNow API is documented at developer.service-now.com, including g_user.

There is actually 4 methods:

hasRole()

hasRoleExactly()

hasRoleFromList()

hasRoles()
