NOTE: We discovered in the lab that the standard key combination did not always work. Here is what we discovered:

Key combination: CTRL+SHIFT+J

Works on OS X with browsers Chrome, Safari, and Firefox

Key combination: CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+J

Works on Windows with browsers Chrome, IE, and Firefox

The OOB script that checks for the key combination is looking for CTRL+SHIFT+J; however, it seems on Windows that if you additionally hold down ALT, you prevent the browser from reacting to the key combination - the OOB script ignores the ALT and 'sees' it as CTRL+SHIFT+J.If you are having trouble launching the JavaScript Executor, try both combinations. Also, another trick is to make sure a field in the main window is in focus first. Clicking inside any input field usually does the trick.

My recommended solution is to add an Access Control Rule:

Object type.....: Access Control RuleType............: ui_pageOperation.......: readActive..........: checkedAdmin overrides.: checkedName............: javascript_executorDescription.....: Only allow admins to run JavaScript ExecutorCondition.......: Script..........: answer = false;Roles...........:

When a user without the admin role presses CTRL+SHIFT+J, they will see this because the Access Control Rule is preventing them from loading the UI Page:

I recommend only using the Access Control Rule; however, if you'd like to prevent the above dialog window when a non-admin attempts to invoke the JavaScript Executor, you can add a Global UI Script in addition to the Access Control Rule - do not rely on this UI Script by itself. This is an advanced technique because we are replacing an OOB script with a custom script. The custom script checks that "checkForClientKeystroke" exists and is a function and it checks that "orig_checkForClientKeystroke" does not exist. If the OOB function name were to ever change or if our custom function name were to be introduced as a new OOB function, this script would simply stop working and users would get the above error dialog.

Object type.: UI ScriptName........: Override checkForClientKeystrokeActive......: checkedGlobal......: checkedDescription.: Intercept key combination CTRL+SHIFT+J, do not run if non-admin

if (typeof checkForClientKeystroke == 'function' && typeof u_checkForClientKeystroke == 'undefined') { // Run once on first keydown - stop observing OOB checkForClientKeystroke function on keyup Event.observe(document,'keydown',function() { Event.stopObserving(document,'keyup',checkForClientKeystroke); Event.stopObserving(document,'keydown',arguments.callee); }); // Add custom wrapper function on keyup var u_checkForClientKeystroke = function(evt) { if (evt && evt.shiftKey && evt.ctrlKey && evt.keyCode == 74 && !getTopWindow().g_user.hasRole('admin')) { // If you desire, you could add an alert here to let the user know this function has been disabled return; } else { checkForClientKeystroke(evt); } }; Event.observe(document,'keyup',u_checkForClientKeystroke);}
