I need to be able to read the name of the current user in a business process so I can insert it in a comment section (not as the GUID).

 

I was thinking I could look up contact (or user) where the ID equals the system variable current user but that doesn't work.

You must first create a param in your process with Type=Unique Identifier and set the param value to [#System variable.Current user contact#]

Then you can use that param when reading from Contact

Great, thanks Ryan.

Hi Team,

 

I am trying to read the current user's role by using the following custom logic.

GetCurrentUserRole: function(){
				var scope = this;
				var esq = Ext.create("Terrasoft.EntitySchemaQuery", {rootSchemaName: "SysUserInRole"});
				esq.addColumn("SysRole");
				esq.filters.add("UserFilter", Terrasoft.createColumnFilterWithParameter(
    				Terrasoft.ComparisonType.EQUAL, "SysUser", Terrasoft.SysValue.CURRENT_USER.value
				));
				esq.getEntityCollection(function(result) {
					if (!result.success || result.collection.getItems().length === 0) {return;}
					result.collection.each(function(item) { 
						var role = item.get("SysRole");
						var roleName = role.displayValue;
						var roleId = role.value;
						this.console.log("roleName: ",roleName);
					});
				}, this);
				return true;
			},

The above code works perfectly fine while logged in as a Normal user, but the same doesn't work for Portal users. For portal users, the "roleId" variable gives the correct Id but the variable "roleName" shows as a blank string("") because it is not reading the displayValue.

 

To address the issue, I have added "SysUserInRole" and "SysAdminUnit" in the lookup named "List of objects available for portal users". Also the Object permissions for both the tables are default. But still no luck in getting the desired output.

 

Request any suggestions or additional steps that I need to perform to get the displayValue of current user role while logged in as a portal user.

 

Regards,

Hi Sourav,

 

I was able to achieve the result needed by adding the "System administration object" schema to the "List of objects available for portal users" lookup and relogin under the portal user. Try the same approach on your side, it should work.
