How to copy all users from Project Role to User Group

[#1]

Recently, I faced to interesting and challenging task.

We are moving one huge Jira instance to unified Access Management, which will be driven by user request in dedicated project and approved / declined request will automatically add users to users groups, which are shared in Permission Scheme through more projects. 

Well, this part will be covered in another article, but as a predisposition, I had to migrate all of the users from Projects Roles to User Groups. 

Doing this manually would take hours, maybe days with possibility of making a lot of mistakes.

So I took inspiration @JamieA answer over there https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-to-list-all-members-of-a-certain-project-role/qaq-p/528122 and created a script for that.

As sharing is caring, I would like to share this with everyone, because I find this quite useful :-) 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRole
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleActors
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager

ProjectRoleManager projectRoleManager = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(ProjectRoleManager.class) as ProjectRoleManager

def projectComponentManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectComponentManager)
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectManager)
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def usersKeyString
def usersObjList = []

ProjectRole devsRole = projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Developers") //SOURCE: Change to appropriate Project Role
def group = groupManager.getGroup("group_developers") //TARGET: Change to appropriate Jira Group
def Projects = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey("FOO") //PROJECT: Change to Project you are working with

for (item in Projects)

{
ProjectRoleActors actors = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(devsRole, item)
usersKeyString = ("${actors.getUsers()*.key}").toString()
}

usersKeyString = usersKeyString.replace("[","")
usersKeyString = usersKeyString.replace("]","")
usersKeyString = usersKeyString.replace(" ","")

def usersKeyList = usersKeyString.split(',').collect {it as String}

for (item in usersKeyList)

{
def userObject = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByKey(item)
if (userObject != null) 
{
usersObjList.add(userObject)
}
}

for (item in usersObjList)

{ 
groupManager.addUserToGroup(item,group) 
}

 I also refactored original @JamieA answer, as It contain deprecated Component Manager and few not anymore available method. (Unfortunately original thread is locked, so I cannot post answer over there).

So here is the script compatible with Jira 8.x version which will generate list of specified Project role in all projects: 

Key | Name | Lead | Member

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRole
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleActors
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager

ProjectRoleManager projectRoleManager = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(ProjectRoleManager.class) as ProjectRoleManager

def projectComponentManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectComponentManager)
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectManager)
def actorsList = []
def instanceList = []

ProjectRole devsRole = projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Developers") //Specify the project role you would like to list across the Jira

def Projects = projectManager.getProjectObjects()

for (item in Projects)

{
ProjectRoleActors actors = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(devsRole, item)
instanceList.add("$item.key, $item.name, $item.lead, ${actors.getUsers()*.name}\n")
}
return instanceList

@Tomáš Vrabec  Interesting thanks for sharing!

[Omar Rashid]

@Tomáš Vrabec Is there a way to refactor this script to copy all users and their roles from one project to an existing project? 

[Tomáš Vrabec]

@Omar Rashid 

You have to go thru 

projectRoleManager

component, there is method to also create users with roles.

I can do that, but now have no spare time to do that :-(
