User Criteria based on Group Type

[Lorenzo Stermie]

Hello,
I'm trying to setup user criteria based on group type.
On a similar post someone shared this script:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
gr.addActiveQuery();
gr.addQuery('name', id);
gr.setLimit(1);
gr.query();
if (gr.type == '1cb8ab9bff500200158bffffffffff62')
gr.hasNext();

But I haven't been able to make it work.
Please help

Thank you

Lorenzo

Hi,

the id variable is holding any value?

Are you saying if logger in user's group type is 1cb8ab9bff500200158bffffffffff62 then user criteria will return true?

Hello Ankur,
The SYS ID 1cb8ab9bff500200158bffffffffff62  is the one for group type "ITIL" (it's an out of the box type and your instance should have the same sys ID)

And to answer your question yes, If the user is in a group of that type I need the user criteria to allow the access.

Thanks

Hi,

please try below code and check

answer = evaluateCriteria();

function evaluateCriteria() {
	var id = gs.getUserID(); //gets logged in user
	var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
	gr.addQuery('user', id);
	gr.addQuery('group.type', '1cb8ab9bff500200158bffffffffff62');
        gr.setLimit(1);
	gr.query();
	return gr.hasNext();
}

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi there,

Is this the full code? For example, already on line 3, what is id? I don't see this anywhere? Also you are using gr.type to compare something, though there's no gr.next? Consider moving the gr.type into your query.

I would expect code like:

(function() {

	var id = 'something?';
	
	var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
	gr.addActiveQuery();
	gr.addQuery('name', id);
	gr.addQuery('type', '1cb8ab9bff500200158bffffffffff62');
	gr.setLimit(1);
	gr.query();

	var answer = false;
	if(gr.hasNext()) {
		answer = true;
	}
	
	return answer;
	
})();

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark
