Script to add user to group based on field selection

Manuel Valcarcel_4nmkip

We are using a variation the script in https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/remove-specified-users-from-a-group to add a user to a specific group when an issue is created through our service desk portal.  Any idea how we could add the same user to groups selected in a group picker field?

Hi @Manuel Valcarcel 

Try the following. I tested it on my instance and works just fine!

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

// the group you want to remove users from
def groups = ["group1", "group2"]

// user names of the users to add
final List<String> usersToAdd = ["admin"]

def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.userUtil
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager

ArrayList<com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group> finalGroups = new ArrayList<com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group>(groups.size())

for (group in groups){
     finalGroups.add(ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getGroup(group))
     assert group : "Could not find group with name $group"
}

usersToAdd.each {
     def userToAdd = userManager.getUserByName(it)
     userUtil.addUserToGroups(finalGroups, userToAdd)
}

 Let me know if that worked for you as well!
