Validation rule that excludes some roles
Hi, need a validation rule to make sure that if a case is new, it can be only created with the "New" Status. However, 3 roles must be able to save them anyway, even with a different status value set. I am trying the following validation rule but is not working [Error: Syntax error. Missing ')']
I hope you can help me. Thank you
AND(
ISNEW() && NOT( ISPICKVAL( Status, "New" ) )
OR(
$UserRole.Name <> "GRP_UK_HR_HR_Customer_Services_Manager",
$UserRole.Name <> "GRP_UK_HR_Customer_Services_Team_Leader",
$UserRole.Name <> "GRPUKHRPeopleServicesTier1Advisor" ) )
I hope you can help me. Thank you
AND(
ISNEW() && NOT( ISPICKVAL( Status, "New" ) )
OR(
$UserRole.Name <> "GRP_UK_HR_HR_Customer_Services_Manager",
$UserRole.Name <> "GRP_UK_HR_Customer_Services_Team_Leader",
$UserRole.Name <> "GRPUKHRPeopleServicesTier1Advisor" ) )
I see but in my example instead of using the OR condition I changed to AND and that should work. Are you sure that the names that you're using are correct?
Example:
GRP_UK_HR_HR_Customer_Services_Manager
This name is more likely to be the DeveloperName and not the Name (Label) of the role. If that is the case you should change your formula to:
AND(
ISNEW(),
NOT(ISPICKVAL( Status, "New" )),
AND (
$UserRole.DeveloperName <> "GRP_UK_HR_HR_Customer_Services_Manager",
$UserRole.DeveloperName <> "GRP_UK_HR_Customer_Services_Team_Leader",
$UserRole.DeveloperName <> "GRPUKHRPeopleServicesTier1Advisor"
)
)
Hope to have helped!

If I understood correctly, try this instead:
AND(
ISNEW(),
NOT(ISPICKVAL( Status, "New" )),
AND (
$UserRole.Name <> "GRP_UK_HR_HR_Customer_Services_Manager",
$UserRole.Name <> "GRP_UK_HR_Customer_Services_Team_Leader",
$UserRole.Name <> "GRPUKHRPeopleServicesTier1Advisor"
)
)
Hope to have helped!

Hi Zuinglio,
No, It is not working.
Below is the explanation (borrowing everything from Steve Molis)
So for example if:
Moe has RoleName = X
Larry has RoleName = Y
Curly has RoleName = Z
Joe has RoleName = Q
And we want to block any other User with Role <> X, Y, Z from doing something. If your Formula uses Logic like this:
OR(
$UserRole.Name <> "X",
$UserRole.Name <> "Y",
$UserRole.Name <> "Z",
)
Joe is blocked because Q is <> X or Y or Z
great!
BUT...
Moe is also blocked because X is <> Y or Z
Larry is also blocked because Y is <> X or Z
Curly is also blocked because Z is <> X or Y
So now every User is blocked, not just the one's you want (and that's not so great)
I see but in my example instead of using the OR condition I changed to AND and that should work. Are you sure that the names that you're using are correct?
Example:
GRP_UK_HR_HR_Customer_Services_Manager

$UserRole.DeveloperName <> "GRPUKHRPeopleServicesTier1Advisor"
)
)

So, the field called "Roel Names" in the screen is the "Developer name" and the field called "Label" in the screen is "Role Name". They could have tried to make it a little more confusing, just to waste more time :(
Thank you, This is now working!
You're welcome! I do agree that is confusing but I'm glad it worked!
