Hi,

Is it possible to execute processes based on user roles?

Hi Yannick,

yes, this is possible. We provide a Business Object “User” for accessing Roles and User Attributes (see attached Screenshot). You can use it to get the Role of a looged in User and with a Condition Activity within Process Designer you can react on different Roles of Users. Hope this helps, if you have further questions please let me know.

Hi Chris,

I would like to have such a BO. How do you provide it? A link to a repo would be nice.

Why is such a functionality not already included as server action? Such a functionality is mandatory in many applications.

I’ve also noticed that the API documentation for the USERS object is missing in the Simplifier documentation. I’m guessing that the User_BO is built on that Object?!

Hi there,

you can create a new BusinessObject with the following Method: getCurrentUserRole and this code:

var user = Simplifier.User.getCurrentUser();
output.hasRole = false;
if(user.roles) {
    if(user.roles.length) {
        Simplifier.Log.info("Roles", JSON.stringify(user.roles));
        for (var i = user.roles.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            if(user.roles[i].name === input.roleName) {
                output.hasRole = true;
                break;
            }
        }
    } else {
        throw new Error("User has no Roles");
    }
} else {
    throw new Error("User has no Roles");
}

this code uses the input Parameter “roleName” as String and returns the output “hasRole” as boolean (true/false)

It is based on the Simplifier BusinessObject Server API documented here

Hope that helps
