Redirecting custom button URL based on User Role/User Public Group membership

Question

I need to add some URL parameters in the Send Email button in Email related list in Case detail page.

I have added a custom detail page button with execute javascript. Below is the button code.

     var loc; 
     var uRoleId = UserInfo.getUserRoleId(); 

     if( 
       "{uRoleId}" == "General Permissions Team"){ 
         loc = "/ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid=0031500001e729m&rtype=003&p3_lkid=5001500000TkUwp&retURL=%2F5001500000TkUwp&p26=xyz@gmail.com"; 
         } 
     else{ 
        loc = "/ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid=0031500001e729m&rtype=003&p3_lkid=5001500000TkUwp&retURL=%2F5001500000TkUwp&p26=test@gmail.com"; 
         } 
         window.top.location.href = loc;

Now when I click on the button , I get a javascript error that user info is not defined. Can you help me point out whats the issue with the button code.

UserInfo is not available in JavaScript. Instead you need to use {!$UserRole.Name} to get the role.

Try this:

var loc;
var uRoleName = "{!$UserRole.Name}";

if( uRoleName == "General Permissions Team"){
    loc = "/ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid=0031500001e729m&rtype=003&p3_lkid=5001500000TkUwp&retURL=%2F5001500000TkUwp&p26=xyz@gmail.com"; 
} 
else { 
    loc = "/ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid=0031500001e729m&rtype=003&p3_lkid=5001500000TkUwp&retURL=%2F5001500000TkUwp&p26=test@gmail.com";
}
window.top.location.href = loc;
