The hasRoleExactly method is not defined in the GlideSystem API, so that makes it undefined.

On client-side scripts you can use the GlideUser API: g_user.hasRoleExactly...

hasRoleExactly() can be used in the client side scripting using g_form.hasRoleExactly()
The GlideUser (g_user) Class | ServiceNow Developers

On server-side scripting, you can use gs.hasRole().
