Posted on by Dynamics_DR

Hi community

I'm wanting to disable some fields based on a userId. I've tried the below script without success.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

function sample() {
	// Obtain the User ID from context of the page
	var UserId = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();
	var UserName = Xrm.Page.context.getUserName();
	// Check for User Id match
	if (UserId == "A45413E2-2B07-EB11-A812-000D3A0C2AB4") {          
	// Set field to Disabled
	Xrm.Page.getControl("fieldName").setDisabled(true);
	}
	else {
	// Leave as is
	}
}

Hi,

Try below code.

function sample() {

// Obtain the User ID from context of the page

var UserId = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

var UserName = Xrm.Page.context.getUserName();

UserId=UserId.replace('{','').replace('}','');

// Check for User Id match

if (UserId == "A45413E2-2B07-EB11-A812-000D3A0C2AB4") {

// Set field to Disabled

Xrm.Page.getControl("fieldName").setDisabled(true);

}

else {

// Leave as is

}

}

Than you Bipin for the response

This did not work. There is no error....it just doesn't validate on the UserId.

Hi,

Try to add alert in your code to see what is happening. Please see below code -

function sample() {

// Obtain the User ID from context of the page

var UserId = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

alert("Original User ID"+UserId );

var UserName = Xrm.Page.context.getUserName();

UserId=UserId.replace('{','').replace('}','');

alert("After Replace User ID"+UserId );

// Check for User Id match

if (UserId == "A45413E2-2B07-EB11-A812-000D3A0C2AB4") {

// Set field to Disabled

alert("Condition satisfied");

Xrm.Page.getControl("fieldName").setDisabled(true);

}

else {

alert("Condition Not satisfied");

// Leave as is

}

}

Hi,

I hope you are replacing fieldName with actual field schema name something like new_name

Hi,

I see you are using Xrm.Page which is now deprecated. I have updated your code and verified on my personal tenant.

function sample(executionContext) {

// Obtain the User ID from context of the page

var formContext=executionContext.getFormContext();

var userSettings = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings;

var UserId = userSettings.userId;

alert("Before"+UserId);

var UserName = userSettings.userName;

UserId=UserId.replace('{','').replace('}','');

alert("After"+UserId);

// Check for User Id match

if (UserId == "A45413E2-2B07-EB11-A812-000D3A0C2AB4") {

// Set field to Disabled

alert("condition satisfied");

formContext.getControl("msft_employeenumber").setDisabled(true);

}

else {

alert("condition not satisfied")

// Leave as is

}

}

Hi Bipin

Thanks again for the feedback.

I am using the correct fieldName and the web resource file is loaded and enabled correctly. It is working for the alerts but not disabling the field even with the change to formContext.getControl.

I'm not sure what else to try. Here is my script.

**************************

function sample(executionContext) {
// Obtain the User ID from context of the page
var formContext=executionContext.getFormContext();
var userSettings = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings;
var UserId = userSettings.userId;
alert("Before"+UserId);
var UserName = userSettings.userName;
UserId=UserId.replace('{','').replace('}','');
alert("After"+UserId);
// Check for User Id match
if (UserId == "A45413E2-2B07-EB11-A812-000D3A0C2AB4") {
// Set field to Disabled
alert("condition satisfied");
formContext.getControl("cr91f_productsignedoff").setDisabled(true);
}
else {
alert("condition not satisfied")
// Leave as is
}
}

****************************

The UserId I'm using is mine. I'm an administrator so would this have any impact?

Hi,

Is there any Workflow or Plugin depending on this field? Please check it. Maybe these prevent to disabled mode.

Hi,

Seems this field is in Business Process Flow and you are trying to disable which is in stage? If yes, please add header_process as prefix.

formContext.getControl("header_process_cr91f_productsignedoff").setDisabled(true);

Thank you,

Shivaram.
