SQL Query to return which Projects a user is explicitly listed in

Helen Griffiths

Good afternoon

I am looking for a bit of help to write a SQL query which will return which JIRA projects a user is explicitly listed in within Roles.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Helen,

There is a KB for this over in How to get a list of users assigned to project roles for your project. I believe you can use the SQL query of:

SELECT p.pname, pr.NAME, u.display_name 
FROM projectroleactor pra
INNER JOIN projectrole pr ON pr.ID = pra.PROJECTROLEID
INNER JOIN project p ON p.ID = pra.PID
INNER JOIN app_user au ON au.lower_user_name = pra.ROLETYPEPARAMETER
INNER JOIN cwd_user u ON u.user_name = au.user_key;

in order to retun all the usernames that have been explicitly assigned a role in a project in JIRA. In my own testing this does not include groups that have been assigned to a role that users might be a member of, so I think this should be able to provide you with a list of the explicit user accounts added to specific project roles.

Good morning @Andy Heinzer

You're absolutely right. I found the KB article not long after posting this but forgot to update to say i'd found it.

The SQL works perfectly, I did a bit of an addition at the end to search for a key word within the account name and it did exactly what I wanted it to do.

Thank you for coming back to me, it's very much appreciated

Hi, I'm using the query above (from the confluence link), but I've found a couple scenarios where active users assigned a project role aren't showing in the query results. Other users in the same project / project role are showing in the query results. Out of 3,000 users, I know of 2 users who aren't in the output of this query. I'm not sure how many other users are missing in the output. Has anybody else run into this issue? Thanks! Bridy

Posting an update in case anybody else ran into this. The problem was tied to the app_user table. In newer versions of Jira, the user_key is not the same as lower_user_name (due to GDPR).

Here is the updated query

SELECT p.pname, pr.NAME, u.display_name
FROM projectroleactor pra
INNER JOIN projectrole pr ON pr.ID = pra.PROJECTROLEID
INNER JOIN project p ON p.ID = pra.PID
INNER JOIN app_user au ON au.user_key = pra.ROLETYPEPARAMETER
INNER JOIN cwd_user u ON u.user_name = au.user_key;
