Is there a way to FORCE a script to run under a particular role DYNAMICALLY when called from another script? I have a Suitelet called externally (but only by employees that do actually have NS logins) which will know what user called it (it’s coming in via a slack integration….). This Suitelet then calls a Scheduled Script by way of a

task.create()

. I want the system to check the role of the user that triggered the call, and use that role in the code that executes within the Scheduled Script.

hmm this seems awkward, I don't know of anyway to run a task with a specific role 1. users can have multiple roles 2. what are you doing in the script that's role specific?

I want to be able to run a global search from Slack, and have it auto-post to slack links to all the matching records

What about role restrictions (subsidiary etc..)?

hm

v2

we are JUST in the works of starting to do multi-subsidiary stuff now

is finding which records roles have access to fairly straight forward then?

let record_type_sql =

SELECT DISTINCT name
FROM rolepermissions
JOIN employeeroles ON employeeroles.selectedrole = rolepermissions.role
WHERE employeeroles.entity =

+ ns_user_id + ` AND permlevel > 0 ORDER BY name`;

rolepermssions just has records?... aahh okay gotcha

we use slack a BUNCH to send links back and forth to each other

lol ok so this is "i think this is cool so I'm doing it" project? nice holiday season project 😄

our current integration already turns certain words into links to the matching records (if they match a known pattern e.g. IV12345 for an invoice)

idk if it will be a problem put if person A searches with their permissions and sends the link to person B to click they can just get a permission violation if they dont have the permission

@jen You can create deployments dynamically before you create your

task

, you are going to have a limited number of roles, therefore you can do something like: • Search for an existing deployment for the user role, if exists then create your task with that deployment, otherwise, create the deployment. • At some point you end up with the deployments you need per role and no more deployments are created.

Have you tried logging the user id using the

runtime

module in the scheduled script? To my knowledge, if the suitelet is triggered in the UI and it calls a MR or Sched script, the system passes the user info.

it’s not called under a user though, it’s called externally
