script field update only jiraadmin

Vijay Sridhar

Hi,

we are having a custom field , based on that we are sending mail & updating the customfield via script runner , but sometimes if user manually update the customfield our scriptrunner not able to send email ,is there any option available in scriptedfield to  check that scripted customfield can be updated only by Jiraadmins ?.

Customfield update is not done based on transition , scriptrunner script executes as Jiraadmin user .

Hi vijay,

So you ask if there is a way to add a "condition" in the scripted field to check if the user who updates the issue, (and the updated field is 'connected' with scripted field) is an admin user. Unfortunately you cannot do that in your - responsible for the scripted field - script. Also the scripted fields cannot be updated directly but only via the fields that are 'connected' to it.

Therefore your question and please correct me if I am wrong, is how to allow only admins to edit specific fields in an issue and again this is not possible.
A workaround I can think is to associate a behaviour to the "suspicious" fields and make them read only if the user is not an administrator, for example

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def field = getFieldByName("a field name")
field.setReadOnly(true)
if (groupManager.isUserInGroup(currentUser, "jira-administrators")) {
    field.setReadOnly(false)
}

Hope that helps, somehow...
Regards
