Hide tab based on users security role

Posted on by 6
Hi, 
 
I have a model driven power app in which I need to hide a certain tab if the user has a certain security role. I followed the instructions here to do this via javascript.
 
I now have the problem that the tab is always hidden, regardless of the users security role. My javascript is;
 
function onLoad(execCtx) {
    const formCtx = execCtx.getFormContext();
    
    const roleName = "Project User";
    const isUser = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles.get(r => r.name == roleName);

    if (isUser) {
        formCtx.ui.tabs.get("tab_6").setVisible(false);
    }
}
 
Can anyone help me with this?

    pls try the following:
     
    function onLoad(execCtx) {
        const formCtx = execCtx.getFormContext();
        const globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();
        const roleName = "Project User"; // Replace with your exact role name
        const userRoles = globalContext.userSettings.roles;
        let hasRole = false;
        // Iterate through the user's roles to check for the specified role
        userRoles.forEach(function (role) {
            if (role.name === roleName) {
                hasRole = true;
            }
        });
        // Hide the tab if the user has the specified role
        if (hasRole) {
            formCtx.ui.tabs.get("tab_6").setVisible(false);
        }
    }
     
    it should fix your issue
