rather a short question, but I do not find this information in the documentation: how to get the roles of the currently logged in user in the JS Script shape in the process designer? In the code snippets, there is only “getUsername”…
you can use the methode “getCurrentUserRole” of the Server Side Business Object “ITIZ_User” which is availabe in the Simplifier standard content.
As an input parameter you can name a role and the business object will return a boolean whether the executing user has this role or not.
yes you summarized it correctly.
Inside the process designer you’d have to use this business object and save the result (true / false) as a variable.
For the UI you want to change, you can then check if this value is true or false and print display the desired text. You can do this using condition and UI action shapes or use expression binding which could look something like this:
{= ${variableHolder>/UserHasRoleXY} ? ‘user has role’ : ‘user does not have role’}
thank you for the quick answer. A client-side business object would also be fine, but also here I do not find an approach. I would need this role information to adapt the UI (change some text labels etc., no security related information is impacted).
thank you for the answer. So summarized: I get the user role information only in the backend for security reasons. Thus, I have to implement a logic in the frontend that fetches this information from the backend, right?
