Groovy Script to add User to JIRA group

[Serj Shcherbakov]

Hi There!

I'm searching for a solution that provides me an opportunity to add the user from Custom Field to specific JIRA Group by the post-function workflow.

Thank You in advance,

[Alexey Matveev · Accepted solution]

You need to read the value from the custom field and do something like this. <read user from custom field> depends on the type of your custom field

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()

def user = <read user from custom field>

def group = groupManager.getGroup("Group1")

groupManager.addUserToGroup(user,group)

@Alexey Matveev wow, thank you for prompt answer!
On more question: could you provide a more detailed example of this row:

def user = <read user from custom field>

[Alexey Matveev]

What is your custom field type for the user?

[Serj Shcherbakov]

@Alexey Matveev is the User Picker (single user)

[Alexey Matveev]

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def user = (ApplicationUser) ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("test_mav_user_picker").getValue(issue)

def group = groupManager.getGroup("group1")

groupManager.addUserToGroup(user,group)

Hi,

Perhaps someone can help me with following, I'm trying to create a transition post-function that adds user to a group (from a user picker custom field). However, when running below script...

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def user = (ApplicationUser) ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Field Name").getValue(issue)

def group = groupManager.getGroup("Group1")

groupManager.addUserToGroup(user,group)

...I get this error

Hi all, 

I need the same script for getting users to group by using Multi-User picker field. Can anyone help in this, as its an urgent requirement.

@Alexey Matveev [cPrime]

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def user = (ApplicationUser) ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("test_mav_user_picker").getValue(issue)

def group = groupManager.getGroup("group1")

groupManager.addUserToGroup(user,group)

above mentioned script is  working very well for adding single user in group. The requirement is to add multiple users to the group by having multi user picker custom field.

Please help me in this script..

@Alexey Matveev 

Could you please suggest me whats I am doing here in  below groovy script.

I am attempting to add users listed in below user list to a respective group Group1. 

I am using Script Console to perform this task.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()

def user = ["Chandrakanta Swain", "Ikramirshad Khan", "Mohammed Shaheen", "Nagasudheerkumar Kappala"];
def group = groupManager.getGroup("Group1")

userManager.getAllUsers().each {
user -&gt; groupManager.addUserToGroup(user,group)
}

And in the groove language this syntax is not used.
