Dear all,

I have scenario like to hide a SharePoint library column based on current logged in user

Steps for conditions

1) If user is creator of document then status column need to be hide.

2) If document approved status then status column need to be hide .

3) If user belongs to specific group based group need to hide status column

The below code for single hard coded users and hiding please help me out to achieve for group of users.

Many thanks in advance.

The working script for hard coded users like "ceo", "snraccountant", "finassociate" etc is as in below script for your ref.

Hi Ravi,

For specific group ID, below is the script.
Group ID i have provided is 6, you can replace it
With below script, i have hidden two fields (action taken and action initiation) which can be replaced by your fields name

I am taking current logged in user with "user" variable which can be compared and can take action.

For document approved status, I need to check and update you. If this suits your requirement, pls mark it accordingly about this reply

//download jquery (jquery-1.11.2.min.js) and mark the path accordingly

Hi Ravi,

You can call the below method by passing the groupid. Incase you have many group ids, you can call the below method so many number of times or by looping with count.

function getGroups(int GroupID) {
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
var groupCollection = clientContext.get_site().get_rootWeb().get_siteGroups();
visitorsGroup = groupCollection.getById(GroupID);//GroupID
user = clientContext.get_web().get_currentUser();
userCollection = visitorsGroup.get_users();
clientContext.load(user);
clientContext.load(visitorsGroup);
clientContext.load(userCollection);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}

Hope the above clarifies your queries. If it suits your requirement, pls mark it as right answer

Thank you very much for your reply,

Am not much familier with ECMA Script, recently started working on it. I got your answer, but am unable to integrate that group and existing functionality. just wanted to integrate that group with existing functionality rather than hard coded values for checking "snraccountant", "financemanager", "ceo" etc with currentuser. Just wanted to make it for group. If i found for single group with same above mentioned my functionality also fine.

Note:- All users are in different SharePoint groups.

Many thanks in advance.
