Create Multiple group in database

[Rilwan Ahmed]

I want to create around 100 groups in jira internal directory. Is there any easy way to do it rather manually adding group from UI ?  I mean from groovy script or INSERT query (Database) ?

[Rilwan Ahmed]

We use groovy runner internal plugin.

Definitely not by touching the database.  What scripting add-on do you have?

[Rilwan Ahmed]

Groovy Script

Which one?  I know of  4 that use Groovy one way or another.

Please, tell us which one.

I dont know which one exactly. It is developed by our internal team. 
Sample code which runs there:

/* getAllUsersCount.groovy */
/* calculate all the user count */

import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

Iterator<ApplicationUser> userIterator = userManager.getUsers().iterator()
int count = 0
while (userIterator.hasNext()) {
userIterator.next()
count++
}

println(count)

Ok, there's not a lot I can tell you, as we have no idea of the capabilities of that, including where it runs.

You'll need something like GroupManager.AddGroup() calls, but I can't do a lot else for you.
