hasRole in Server and Client

[Sachin G K1]

Hi, 

We know that g_user.hasRole('itil'); will return true if user has itil role or admin role. Similarly does, gs.hasRole('itil'); works the same or does it return true only when user has itil role.

Hi @Sachin G K1 both method works the same, the difference is

g_user.hasRole() // client side call

gs.hasRole() // server side call

you could also use gs.hasRoleExactly()// it will check for admins as well

Hi Harish,

Just to clarify, gs.hasRole('itil'), will this return true if user doesn't have itil role but has admin role. Am i correct?

[Harish Bainsla]

You are correct. The statement gs.hasRole('itil'); will not return true even if the user has the admin role.

please mark helpful and accept solution if you get answer
