Hi Mizan,

Is above script works in createissue-start.jsp file ?

[Mizan]

IF the script is stored in the announcement banner it will run on every page in JIRA

I am not sure if it works on the create issue pop up but there are ways you can make it work on the create issue screen .

refer this post , people have encountered this issue and there are a few workarounds/solution available for this on Answers forum .

It should be /rest/prototype/1/session, but the groups information is not in there.

Perhaps you can get it from the SOAP API, if confluence has the json/soap bridge.

It was enough for me to check whether the user was a confluence admin, which I did via (bit hacky):

if (AJS.$("#administration-link").length > 0) {...

I have a Javascript taken from JTRICKS tutorials , its for JIRA maybe you can modify it according to Confluence REST APi and make it work .

<script type="text/javascript">

function getCurrentUserName()
{
var user;
AJS.$.ajax({
url: "/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser",
type: 'get',
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
success: function(data) { user = data.username; }
});
return user;
}

function getGroups(user)
{
var groups;
AJS.$.ajax({
url: "/rest/api/2/user?username="+user+"&expand=groups",
type: 'get',
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
success: function(data) { groups = data.groups.items; }
});
return groups;
}

function isUserInGroup(user, group){
var groups = getGroups(user);
for (i = 0; i < groups.length; i++){
if (groups[i].name==group){ return true; }
}
return false;
}

var user = getCurrentUserName();
if (isUserInGroup(user, 'jira-administrators')){
AJS.$(function(){
alert("i am an administrator"))

});

}
</script>
