Hello,
I've created an administrator interface so that people can dial in and record prompts for a help desk. I would like to know how to set up authentication to this so that only agents of a particular resource group can pass. Right now, I know how to set it up so that an agent or supervisor can authenticate, but would like to restrict it to a particular group. The java syntax I am using is;
is_supervisor == true
is_agent == true
Any help is appreciated.

You cannot obtain the group or CSQ membership of your users from within a script.
You will need to manually manage this process.
E.g.,
String[] help_desk_users = new String[] {"jsmith", "bjohnson"}Then check if the logged in user is in that Array.
Here is a screen shot of how to search an Array for a value:
**Bonus - Two additional ways, each shorter than the next:
I don't want to steer you away from learning Java, if you really want to. But, take your original post for example.
You did not have to do what I did and build an Array, and iterator, just to see if a particular person was in the list.
I did that because I know Java, not because it was the only way to do it.
You could have just as easily done this (albeit a little clunkier, but it would have gotten the job done):
if user_id == "avholloway" || user_id == "ekholloway" || etc..
And that kind of syntax is built right into the script Editor, you just need to click the buttons:
