Hiding Form Sections Based on User Group

[allison_holt]

I am trying to hide a form section based on a users group, which is not listed on the form itself.

I tried the following client script and it's doesn't hide the tab.

function on Load(){

var me = g_user.userID();

if (me.isMemberOf('7efcb8956fa21100dd3253eabb3ee40c'){

var sections = g_form.getSections();

sections[3].style.display = 'block';

} else {

    sections[3].style.display = 'none';

    }

}

Any help as to what I can do to get this to work would be appreciated!

Hi Allison,

you can use the methods provided on wiki to hide the sections like

if (g_user.hasRole("Some Role")) {

                              g_form.setSectionDisplay('communication', false);

                              g_form.setSectionDisplay('availability', false);

}

here communication and availabiltiy are the section names.

Please mark my answer as correct if you find it correct.

Hi @allison_holt 

Please use the below script to achieve your requirement

Script Include:

var getGroupDetails = Class.create();
getGroupDetails.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getUserMembership: function() {

if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('sys_id')) //sys_id of the group
return "hide";
else return "no-hide";

},

type: 'getGroupDetails'
});

Client Script:

function onLoad() {

var assetGA = new GlideAjax("getGroupDetails");
assetGA.addParam("sysparm_name", 'getUserMembership');
assetGA.getXML(assetSectionDisplayResponse);

function assetSectionDisplayResponse(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
if (answer == 'hide') {
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_name', false); //section name
}
}
}
