Nest a group via Groovy using script runner

Carlos David

I've enabled Nested groups in jira, but now wish to nest AD groups within jira groups with groovy (via the Script Runner console).

 

groupService.addGroupsToGroups() 

does not work via the Script Runner console, no error message is provided

You can do this using the following script, but you'll need to replace the group names:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContextImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.group.GroupService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
def groupService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(GroupService)

def jiraServiceContext = new JiraServiceContextImpl(authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser())

// groups that can have groups added to them
def nestedGroups = ["nested1", "nested2"]

// the groups to add to the nested groups above as children
def childGroups = ["group1", "group2"]

def groupValidationResult = groupService.validateAddGroupsToGroup(jiraServiceContext, nestedGroups, childGroups)

if (groupValidationResult.isSuccess()) {

    groupService.addGroupsToGroups(jiraServiceContext, nestedGroups, childGroups)
} else {
    log.warn "invalid children groups: $groupValidationResult.invalidChildren"
}

 Notably this uses GroupService to add nested groups. I'd recommend using GroupService, as it performs some validation that GroupManager may not.
