How can I enumerate the groups of a Jira user?

[Tobias Rapp]

I have an old plugin for Jira 4.0 that I want to upgrade to Jira 5.2. The plugin uses the obsolete "com.opensymphony.user" classes. For example:

List<String> groups = issue.getReporter().getGroups();

I want to migrate the plugin to the new "com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api" classes but the "getGroups" method is not available there. How can I enumerate the groups a user belongs to in Jira 5.2?

User reporter = issue.getReporter();

SortedSet<Group> groups = userUtil.getGroupsForUser(reporter.getName());

Refer- http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/user/util/UserUtil.html#getGroupsForUser(java.lang.String)

That's it, thanks. For getting a reference to UserUtil I used something like

private final UserUtil userUtil;
// ...
userUtil = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil();

in the class constructor.

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

        UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
        Set<Group> groups = userManager.getAllGroups();

        for (Group group1 : groups) {
            Group group = group1;
            // you logic here
        }

This would enumerate all available groups, not the groups of a single user.

ah, you are right

as far as I remember correctly I have been using

com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.CrowdService
