Write ACL to allow user write access to their own records

mkader · ‎01-13-2021

Hello,

I have a new field I have created on the user table. This field will only be able to be written to by Admins and through a record producer we have on our portal (record producer does not create record, it does update). I need an ACL that only allows Admin to write too. I have a custom role that will only have read access. If a user is trying to update their record from the back-end on the user table, they should also have access.

Currently, I have everything setup. I have a write ACL for Admin only, so no other users can make modifications. Now I need to add something that will allow current users to make modifications to their own records.

Thanks!

You can add following code in acl script

if (!gs.hasRole('admin')&& gs.getUserID() !== current.getValue('some user field on record')) {
	answer = false;
} else {
	answer = true;
}

@Ashok59 owned_by is reference field. gs.getUserName will return the user_id of the user.

you can use

gs.getUserID() == current.getValue('owned_by')

You could try something like this; create an ACL with this condition:

Created By is javascript:gs.getUserName()

Edited: I had getUserID but it should be getUserName for created by.

I hope this helps!

Only a professionals in ICT can give a good answer on this topic. Thank you for sharing solutions how to write a user access. I'm a new student at Computer Science and all this things seem to me pretty difficult. But I'm glad I can be a part of ServiceNow community and follow professionals. It's the same as I follow a reliable writing service edubirdie on https://edubirdie.org/ because they have writers in different niches. Already two times they saved me from a failure with research work on servers (I have to admit I'm not so good at it at this moment). Gonna to read more topics here.
