On a ribbon button I have the following JS to detect the role of the user. I have been reading that Xrm.Page.Context is deprecated, however if I try updating the script below to use Global Context, it always returns undefined and doesn't work. This is my present code that works (please suggest how to update):
function getrolesarray(formcontextfromribbon) {
var Globalcontext = Xrm.Page.context;
var strFirstThree = Globalcontext.getVersion().substring(0, 3);
var sameunit = true;
var noclosed_status = true;
var selview = 0;
var roleid = Globalcontext.getUserRoles();
var RoleName_concat = "";
var user_sysadmin_yesno = false;
var name;
for (var i = 0; i < roleid.length; i ) {
var roleID = roleid[i];
var RoleName = getRoleName_XMLHttp(roleID,strFirstThree);
RoleName = RoleName.toUpperCase()
if ((RoleName == 'SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR')) {
user_sysadmin_yesno = true;
break;
}
}
return user_sysadmin_yesno;
}
function getRoleName_XMLHttp(roleID,strFirstThree) {
var roleName = null;
var param = roleID.toString().replace("{", "").replace("}", "");
var ajaxurl = Globalcontext.getClientUrl() "/api/data/v" strFirstThree "/roles(" param ")?$select=_businessunitid_value,name,roleid";
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", ajaxurl, false);
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 result = JSON.parse(this.response);
var _businessunitid_value = result["_businessunitid_value"];
var _businessunitid_value_formatted = result["_businessunitid_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"];
var _businessunitid_value_lookuplogicalname = result["_businessunitid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname"];
var name = result["name"];
var roleid = result["roleid"];
roleName = result["name"];
} else {
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
}
}
};
req.send();
return roleName;
}If I try to replace line 2 with:
var Globalcontext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();
It will be undefined.
