Which function is used to verify exact role membership for a specific role?

• A. g_user.hasRoleExactly('pa_admin')
• B. g_user.hasRole('pa_admin')
• C. hasRoleExactly('pa_admin')
• D. verifyRoleExact('pa_admin')

Answer: (A)

This tests how to check exact role membership on the client side using the GlideUser object. The correct way is g_user.hasRoleExactly('pa_admin') because this function verifies that the current user’s assigned roles are exactly the specified one, with no other roles included. That exact-match behavior is what you need when you must enforce that a user holds only that role and nothing else. Using g_user.hasRole('pa_admin') would return true if the user has that role, but it doesn’t guarantee there aren’t other roles attached, so it isn’t an exact check. A form like hasRoleExactly('pa_admin') without the g_user prefix isn’t valid in this context, and verifyRoleExact('pa_admin') isn’t a standard ServiceNow API function.
