About this task

To enable access to sys_users (internal users), add the sys_user to the user extension in the Consumer script include.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Definition > Script Includes.

2. Open the Consumer script include and modify the script as follows:

   Add the initialize method to the Consumer script include and set this.userExtensions value.

   var Consumer = Class.create();
   
   Consumer.prototype = Object.extendsObject(ConsumerImpl, {
       initialize: function() {
           ConsumerImpl.prototype.initialize.call(this);
           this.userExtensions = ["csm_consumer_user", "sys_user"];
       },
   
       type: 'Consumer',
   
   });
   

   Note: While creating a consumer user from the consumer form, you’re redirected to the interceptor form to select the user type.

3. Select Update.
