User object
You can use the User object to retrieve the user name of the current user and to check whether the user belongs to a particular user group. You can retrieve or modify the first and last name of the user.
The User object has the following properties.
Property |
R/W |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
FullName |
R/W |
String |
Sets or retrieves the first and last name of the current user. |
IsInGroup (GroupName) |
R |
Boolean |
Checks whether or not the current user is a member of a predefined or user-defined group. |
UserName |
R |
String |
Returns the user name used when logging in to ALM. |
For example, to have a message box open when the user has project administrator permissions, use the following code.
if (User.IsInGroup === "TDAdmin") {
MsgBox('The user has administrative permissions for this project.');
}
Note: For user properties that cannot be retrieved by the User object, you can use the TDConnection object.
