Question

I have 2 issues.

First issue: Trying to hide OOB button in subgrid(Ribbon), based on user role(by calling javascript). Is it possible?

Second issue: Hiding OOB button is not possible through “enablerule”javascript, so alternative I tried to disable button by using “enablerule”/javascript. Here is following code which reflects above. Still is NOT working, but for main form Ribbon button, the below code is working.

Can anyone please help me?

 return isAdmin;
}

Yes you can hide or disable OOB buttons. This blog post provides some information.

Your js code is incorrect as Xrm.Page.context.getUserRoles() returns an array of GUIDs not the role names so isAdmin will always be false.
