ScriptRunner Adding User To Group, Fails Group check in Same Script

Question

While Auditing users added from portal we check to ensure they are in a specified group.

If a new user is created we run a script against to add the user to the group but then further checks that the user is in the group then fail until the script is restarted.

The following is a sample of what I'm working with:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group

UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager() as UserManager
ApplicationUser testUser

testUser = userManager.getUserByKey("JIRAUSER35000")

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.groupManager
def usersGroups = groupManager.getGroupNamesForUser(testUser.username)
Group addToGroup = groupManager.getGroup('SC-ALL USERS')
addToGroup.add(testUser)
usersGroups = groupManager.getGroupNamesForUser(testUser.username)

I would expect the last userGroups value to contain the group that the user has just been added to.

What am I missing?

Hi @David Harkins For your requirement, I suggest using a simpler approach via ScriptRunner's HAPI. To add a user to a Group via the ScriptRunner console, all you have to do is:- import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor def user = Users.getByName('') //set the username def group = Groups.getByName('') //set the group name group.add(user) def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.groupManager log.warn "======>>>> ${group.contains(user)}" log.warn "<<<<<===== ${user.isMemberOfGroup(group)}" log.warn "========>>>>> ${groupManager.getGroupNamesForUser(user)}" For example:- import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor def user = Users.getByName('ramk') def group = Groups.getByName('jira-servicedesk-users') group.add(user) def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.groupManager log.warn "======>>>> ${group.contains(user)}" log.warn "<<<<<===== ${user.isMemberOfGroup(group)}" log.warn "========>>>>> ${groupManager.getGroupNamesForUser(user)}" Below is a screenshot of the ScriptRunner console:- As you can see in the screenshot above, when the code is tested, the verification returns true along with the group name the user belongs to in the log output. Also, when checking the User Management page, as expected, the user is added to the group as shown in the screenshot below:- I hope this helps so solve your question. :-) Thank you and Kind regards, Ram
