node.js - How to share varibles between ejs files

Question

I am building a website and want to conditionally render a given page. For that I have created this condition

    <% let view_condition = (allowed_roles.includes(main_user.role) && meeting[enabled_property]) || main_user.role === 'admin' %>

this works fine for me. But I want this condition in a partial and I want to pass allowed roles and enabled_property to it. So I created a partial and included it in the main.ejs file but it showed the error that view_condition is not defined.

I tried using both tags but it did not work for me <%- include('./partials/view_condition') %> and <% include('./partials/view_condition') %>.

I know the path is correct because when I use a h1 tag in view_condition.ejs it renders properly

main.ejs file (that is not working)

<%- include('./apartials/view_condition',{allowed_roles : ['crew','client'],enabled_property : 'call_in_enabled'}) %> 
<% if (view_condition) { %>
  <!-- application code-->
  <% } else{ %>
    <div style="position: absolute;width: 100%;top: 50vh;display: flex;justify-content: center;">
      <h1> you are not authorized to view this page</h1>      
    </div>
  <% } %> 

view_condition.ejs file (I tried using both let and var to declare varible)

<% let view_condition = (allowed_roles.includes(main_user.role) && meeting[enabled_property]) || main_user.role === 'admin' %>

main.ejs file (that is working)

<% let allowed_roles = ['admin', 'crew','client'] %> 
 <% let enabled_property = 'call_in_enabled' %> 
<% let view_condition = (allowed_roles.includes(main_user.role) && meeting[enabled_property]) || main_user.role === 'admin' %>  
<% if (view_condition) { %>
  <!-- application code-->
  <% } else{ %>
    <div style="position: absolute;width: 100%;top: 50vh;display: flex;justify-content: center;">
      <h1> you are not authorized to view this page</h1>      
    </div>
  <% } %>
