I figured out how to set the visibility of a field on the account form based on the owner of the account. What I really want to do is set the visibility based on the business unit that the owner belongs to.
For example if account.owner.businessunit = BusinessUnitOne set the field visible.
Thanks,
Chris

hi, you can retrive Bs this way
function GetUserBS()
{
var ContactID = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();
Cols = ["businessunitid"];
var Retrieved = XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.Retrieve ("systemuser", ContactID, Cols );
var UnitObj = Retrieved.attributes["businessunitid"];
var UnitName = UnitObj.name
return (UnitName);
}
then you can do whatever you want :D
Hi..
You cannot use JavaScript in business unit.. you need to add JavaScript on form Onload event
and your javascript code will be look like
function ShowHideByOwnerBU()
{
// get owner Id
var owner= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue();
var ownername = owner[0].name;
var ownerId= owner[0].id;
// Get owner Business unit..
// Based on owner BU show/hide fields.
}
To add javascript to form event..
1. you need to create javascript web resource.
2. add this web resource to your entity form script libarary.
3. then call function on form onload event.
Here are some additional links might help you..

Mahedeo,
Thanks for responding to my question.
This is close to what I am looking for and will help with some other things I am doing. I want to show the field based not on the logged in user but based on the account owner's business unit.
Also I am using CRM 2015 online. How do I use JavaScript in a business rule? When I edit the form and click business rule and create/edit a rule I get a GUI that lets me set conditions and pick fields from drop downs. Is there an advanced editor that lets me use javascript and fetch?
