Display parts of an array in Checkboxes?

Hey, I was wondering how you go about displaying certain parts of an array in checkboxes. My example is that I have a select box, when a certain value is selected I want to be able to display certain parts of that array it has in common with another. Can create a quick JSFiddle if needed.

C#

var PRIVILEGE_PROFILES = [
    { PROFILE_ID: "ADickinson", COMPANY_CODE: "GW", PRIVILEGE_CODE: ("ALeave", "ALVwBlkLV", "ALAdmin", "DAAppAccess"), SECTOR: "01" }
];

That's the array that is displayed in my select box, when the PROFILE_ID is selected I want to display all the different PRIVILEGE_CODES it has into multiple check boxes inside a div. However the PRIVILEGE_CODE must match with a UNIQUE_CODE from this array then instead the privilege_code/unique_code being displayed in the checkboxes I need SEC_PRIVILEGES.Name to be displayed instead.

var SEC_Privileges = [
    { Unique_Code: "ALeave", Name: "Annual Leave Access" },
    { Unique_Code: "ALVwBlkLV", Name: "Annual Leave Blcok LeaveAccess" },
    { Unique_Code: "AlAdmin", Name: "Annual Leave Admin" },
];

This is the code for my actual select box, I've already done the methods to populate it with PROFILE_ID's

SQL

var profileselectHTML = "<select name='select_profile' id='select_profile' class='form_drop_down' data-role='none'>" +
   "<option>None</option>";

Hi,

Add a onchange event for the dropdown and added the following code and add a div in html as container for the checkboxes

JavaScript

$("#select_profile").change(function () {
        var checkboxes = "";
        $("#select_profile option:selected").each(function () {
            var value = $(this).text();

            $.each(PRIVILEGE_PROFILES, function (index, profile) {
                if (profile.PROFILE_ID === value) {
                    profile.PRIVILEGE_CODE.forEach(function (code) {
                        SEC_Privileges.forEach(function (arr) {
                            if (arr.Unique_Code === code) {
                                checkboxes += "<input type='checkbox'>" + arr.Name + "</input>";
                            }
                        });
                    });
                }
            });
        });
        $("#checkboxes").html(checkboxes);
    });
