Hello Everyone, I got the requirement for java script to Hide/Show sub grid Based on the User Role , I wrote the code but somehow it is not working as expected , So please can someone help me where i went wrong , I am using Dynamics CRM 2013

Sample Code:

// function to hide the section Based on the UserRoles
function OnLoad() {

if (UserHasRole("System Administrator") || UserHasRole("Sales Effectiveness")) {
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section1").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section2").setVisible(true);

} else {
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section1").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section2").setVisible(false);

}
}

function UserHasRole(roleName) {
var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl();
var oDataEndpointUrl = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/";

oDataEndpointUrl += "RoleSet?$top=1&$filter=Name eq '" + roleName + "'";

var service = GetRequestObject();

if (service != null) {
service.open("GET", oDataEndpointUrl, false);
service.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-Width", "XMLHttpRequest");
service.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json, text/javascript, */*");
service.send(null);

var requestResults = eval('(' + service.responseText + ')').d;

if (requestResults != null && requestResults.results.length == 1) {
var role = requestResults.results[0];

var id = role.RoleId;

var currentUserRoles = Xrm.Page.context.getUserRoles();

for (var i = 0; i < currentUserRoles.length; i++) {
var userRole = currentUserRoles[i];
if (GuidsAreEqual(userRole, id)) {
return true;
}
}
}
}

return false;
}

function GetRequestObject() {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
return new window.XMLHttpRequest;
} else {
try {
return new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
} catch (ex) {
return null;
}
}
}

function GuidsAreEqual(guid1, guid2) {
var isEqual = false;

if (guid1 == null || guid2 == null) {
isEqual = false;
} else {
isEqual = guid1.replace(/[{}]/g, "").toLowerCase() == guid2.replace(/[{}]/g, "").toLowerCase();
}

return isEqual;
}

Hi Ramesh,

Try to debug your code and check if you are getting your server URL correctly if not try to use getClientUrl instead of getServerUrl

What is not working? A few questions:

is the role being returned correctly for the user?

Are the helper functions working correctly? (i.e. GuidsAreEqual)

Are you seeing errors when attempting to Hide/Show the sections?

do you have any other required fields in the sections? In CRM 2011, I saw some strange behavior in hiding a section when the Owner field was in the section.

I do see a possible issue with the UserHasRole method. Does it always return false? I believe that synchronous Xml HTTP requests have been deprecated in recent versions of most browsers. So the async == false is ignored and you immediately return.

I would suggest something similar to the following snippet created using the CRM Rest Builder:

var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.2/roles?$filter=( name eq 'System%20Administrator' or name eq 'Sales%20Effectiveness')", true); req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); req.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\""); req.onreadystatechange = function () { if (this.readyState === 4) { req.onreadystatechange = null; if (this.status === 200) { var results = JSON.parse(this.response); for (var i = 0; i < results.value.length; i++) { var roleid = results.value[i]["roleid"]; // DO THE HIDE/SHOW WORK HERE // OR INVOKE ANOTHER METHOD } } else { Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText); } } }; req.send();

Let me know if this helps fix the issue!

Try with this -

function OnLoad() { if (UserHasRole("System Administrator") || UserHasRole("Sales Effectiveness")) { Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section1").setVisible(true); Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section2").setVisible(true); } else { Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section1").setVisible(false); Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("TAB").sections.get("Section2").setVisible(false); } } function UserHasRole(RoleName) { var currentUserRoles = Xrm.Page.context.getUserRoles(); for (var i = 0; i < currentUserRoles.length; i++) { var userRoleId = currentUserRoles[i]; var userRoleName = GetRoleName(userRoleId); if (userRoleName == RoleName) { return true; } } return false; } function GetRoleName(roleId) { var serverUrl = location.protocol + "//" + location.host + "/" + Xrm.Page.context.getOrgUniqueName(); var odataSelect = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc" + "/" + "RoleSet?$filter=RoleId eq guid'" + roleId + "'"; var roleName = null; $.ajax( { type: "GET", async: false, contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", datatype: "json", url: odataSelect, beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) { XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); }, success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) { roleName = data.d.results[0].Name; }, error: function (XmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert('OData Select Failed: ' + textStatus + errorThrown + odataSelect); } } ); return roleName; }
