Restrict "Add new item" to specific User Groups

[David S Kaimann]

Alex,

Is there any way (through Custom JavaScript) to only show the “Add new item” section of vLookup Fields to a specific User Group (or Groups)? I’d like to be able to do this in both ListView and the forms (Edit/Disp/New).

Thanks!

In forms you can use a rule to hide the “newItemWrap_vLookupFIELDINTERNALNAME” – replace FIELDINTERNALNAME with your fields name.

In list view you must write some custom code to get the groups for the user to determine whether or not to hide the button. Which version for SharePoint are you using?

Thank you so much! I’m using 2010 right now, but we’ll be migrating to 2013 within the next few months. If you’re able to provide both options, it would be awesome!

Thanks!

This code should work in both SP2010 and SP2013. Add it to a CEWP in the view. You must change the fieldname “vLookupTasks” and add the name or id of your group in the code below. This code inserts a style tag to ensure all buttons are hidden correctly even if the vLookup is loaded after the script is loaded.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/SPJS/DFFS/plugins/SPJS-utility.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var currentUserInfo = spjs.utility.userInfo(_spPageContextInfo.userId);
var currentUserGroups = getGroupCollectionFromUser(currentUserInfo.Name);
// check membership
if(currentUserGroups["THE NAME OR ID OF YOUR GROUP"] === undefined){
	var b = [];
	b.push("<style type='text/css'>");
	b.push(".vLookupViewBtn_vLookupTasks{display:none;}");
	b.push(".vLookupEditBtn_vLookupTasks{display:none;}");
	b.push("</style>");
	jQuery("body").append(b.join(""));
}

function getGroupCollectionFromUser(userLoginName){
	var result = {}, id, name;
	spjs_wrapSoapRequest(L_Menu_BaseUrl + '/_vti_bin/usergroup.asmx',
		'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/directory/GetGroupCollectionFromUser',
		'<GetGroupCollectionFromUser xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/directory/"><userLoginName>' + userLoginName + '</userLoginName></GetGroupCollectionFromUser>',
		function(data){
			jQuery('Group', data).each(function(idx, itemData){
				id = jQuery(itemData).attr('ID');
				name = jQuery(itemData).attr('Name');
				result[id] = true;
				result[name] = true;
			});
		});
	return result;
}
</script>
