How to list and check user groups in AGOL WAB javascript Edit Widget

JoseSanchez

Hello everyone,

How can I check if the current user belongs to a specific group in WAP.

I need to change some editable fields to read only for a group and allow editions for another group. I was thinking of changing the source code in the Edit Widget checking the editor's group.

Scope:

For regular users the field is not editable, and populated with a default value.

For administrators, the field is editable.

Any ideas on how to implement this  functionality?

Thanks

Class: PortalUser 

has a method:  

getGroups()

<A href="http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/dojo/Deferred.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><SPAN style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: underline;">Deferred</SPAN></A>

Find all the groups that the portal user has permissions to access.
