scriptrunner: duplicate a group's permissions

Jeffrey Cocozziello March 22, 2021

Hello!

Looking for a little help. I am creating a scriptrunner script to duplicate a group. I was able to create a new group and duplicate the users to it with the script below...

import com.atlassian.confluence.security.login.LoginManager
import com.atlassian.confluence.user.UserAccessor
import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator
import com.atlassian.user.GroupManager

/* This script takes users from the group with oldGroupName and adds them to the group with newGroupName. If newGroupName doesn't exist
it is created.*/

def groupManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(GroupManager)
def loginManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(LoginManager)
def userAccessor = ComponentLocator.getComponent(UserAccessor)

// define the old group and new group USERS SHOULD MODIFY THESE VALUES!
def newGroupName = "group1"
def oldGroupName = "group2"

// Get the new group if it already exists. If it does not exist, create it.
def newGroup = groupManager.getGroup(newGroupName) ?: groupManager.createGroup(newGroupName)

// Get the group you will be copying the users from.
def oldGroup = groupManager.getGroup(oldGroupName)
def users = groupManager.getMemberNames(oldGroup)

users.each { userName ->
def user = userAccessor.getUserByName(userName)
if (user) {
log.info "Add user ${user.name} to the group: $newGroupName"
groupManager.addMembership(newGroup, user)
}
}

I am now trying to figure out how to duplicate the group's permissions. Found the following method that gets a list of all the permissions for a group.

https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.2.1/com/atlassian/confluence/security/SpacePermissionManager.html#getAllPermissionsForGroup-java.lang.String-

But I cannot for the life of me find out how to set these permissions for the new group. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Try something like this

import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator
import
com.atlassian.confluence.security.SpacePermission
import com.atlassian.confluence.security.SpacePermissionManager
def spacePermissionManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpacePermissionManager)
def oldGroupName = 'yourOldGroupName'
def newGroupName = 'yourNewGroupName'
spacePemrissionmanager.getAllPermissionForGroup(oldGroupName).each{oldPerm->
def newPerm =SpacePermission.createGroupSpacePermission(oldPermission.type, oldPerm.space, newGroupNamae)
spacePermissionmanager.savePermission(newPerm)
}
