How to check current login group using javascript?

[tpham]

Hi,

I am building a custom field using multiple select list and use java script to hide some options from some particular group. My current javascript is

<script type="text/javascript">

targetCategory = document.getElementById('customfield_10102');

conditionField = document.getElementById('Reporter');

subCategoryOptionsCount = document.getElementById('customfield_10102').length;

tempVar = 0;

if (conditionField=="admin")

{

while(tempVar < subCategoryOptionsCount)

{

if(targetCategory.options[tempVar].text=="VIC" )

{

targetCategory.remove(tempVar);

subCategoryOptionsCount--;

}

tempVar++;

}

}

</script>

But this doesn't work, I am pretty sure I am messed up in conditionField. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Tuan

Use the below rest calls for getting the login user and his associated groups.

AJS.$.get("/rest/auth/1/session", function (data) {

userName = data.name;

AJS.$.get("/rest/api/2.0.alpha1/user", {username: userName, expand: "groups"}, function (data) {

var groups = data.groups;

var groupItems = jQuery.map(groups.items, function (val, j) {

return val.name

});

{);

{);

Thanks, Spatruni. However, i cannot make it works on my screen. Can you please review my code?

<script type="text/javascript">

AJS.$.get("/rest/auth/1/session", function (data) {

userName = data.name;

{);

targetCategory = document.getElementById('customfield_10102');

subCategoryOptionsCount = document.getElementById('customfield_10102').length;

tempVar = 0;

if (userName=="Administrator")

{

while(tempVar < subCategoryOptionsCount)

{

if(targetCategory.options[tempVar].text=="VIC" )

{

targetCategory.remove(tempVar);

subCategoryOptionsCount--;

}

tempVar++;

}

}

</script>

Is there any chance you can also advise me how to retrieve the group of this login user?

Thanks,

Hi Spatruni,

This is my first time using a REST call, can you please elaborate more on your code?

Thanks,

Looks like the same code from my answer here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/38542/how-to-check-if-the-login-user-is-a-jira-administrator-using-a-rest-call

I posted the code for getting the groups aswell. Please test it. May be you require two more closing braces for that. Just put some alerts and test whether you are able to get the response.

[tpham]

I've concluded your code into the following function

function getGroups(user)

{

var groups;

AJS.$.ajax({

url: "/rest/api/2.0.alpha1/user?username="+user+"&expand=groups",

type: 'get',

dataType: 'json',

async: false,

success: function(data) {

groups = data.groups.items;

}

});

window.alert(groups);

return groups;

}

But it seems the URL is not correct since I get an "undefined" from group.

[srinivasp]

Means you are running jira at the context /jira. In that case just add /jira to both urls. Better would be to replace both with AJS.params.baseURL + "/jira//rest..."

[tpham]

I tried those, this link works

/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser

This link doesn't

AJS.params.baseURL + "/jira/rest/api/2.0.alpha1/user?username="+user+"&expand=groups"

or "/rest/api/2.0.alpha1/user?username="+user+"&expand=groups"

I am using jira 5 installed on linux server on Amazon

[srinivasp]

Which version of jira are you using? It works for 4.x and 5 only.

[srinivasp]

But for me it worked in the same way. Are you able to get the jira user from first call?

[tpham]

Yes, Spatruni. I can get the username out of this function

function getCurrentUserName()

{

var user;

AJS.$.ajax({

url: "/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser",

type: 'get',

dataType: 'json',

async: false,

success: function(data) {

user = data.username;

}

});

return user;

}

The URL /rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser also works for me when I put it into the browser. However. The API one doesn't work. Am I missing anything?

[srinivasp]

Have you tried the way i suggested to get the groups?

[tpham]

Hi Spatruni, I've made it works. Thanks so much for your hint, it was because the link should be /rest/api/latest/user?username="+user+"&expand=groups

Hi 

I used the above URL for getting group names

But Im getting the following output when I am trying to display the retrieved group list

Whats wrong?

[tapraj]

Hi 

<script type="text/javascript">
var user=getCurrentUserName()
alert(1234+user)
function getCurrentUserName()
{
var user
AJS.$.ajax({
url: "/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser",
type: 'get',
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
success: function(data) {
user = data.username;
}
});
alert(6666)
return user;
}
</script>

when I used this code the username is undefined
