How to add Groups to a project role in groovy, script runner console

[Carlos David]

I'm trying to add (AD) groups to project roles using the Script Runner (5.04) Console, using Jira 7.3.1. I'm trying to use the method:

void addActorsToProjectRole(Collection<String> actors,
                            ProjectRole projectRole,
                            Project project,
                            String actorType,
                            ErrorCollection errorCollection)

source:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.projectroles.ProjectRoleService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRole
import com.atlassian.jira.util.SimpleErrorCollection
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project

def projectRoleService =ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectRoleService);
def projectRoleManager =ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectRoleManager);
def projectManager =ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectManager);

ProjectRole projectRoleObject = projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Role Name")
Project project = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey("XYZ")
def errorCollection = new SimpleErrorCollection();

projectRoleService.AddActorsToProjectRole(['Group A'], projectRoleObject, project, "GroupRoleActor.TYPE", errorCollection)

Static type checking errors are the issue. The problem lies with the errorCollection - I am also unable to use:

projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(projectRoleObject, project, errorCollection)

Can anyone help?

Hello,

I changed your code a bit and it was compiled successfuly

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.projectroles.ProjectRoleService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRole
import com.atlassian.jira.util.SimpleErrorCollection
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleActor

def projectRoleService =ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectRoleService);
def projectRoleManager =ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectRoleManager);
def projectManager =ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectManager);

ProjectRole projectRoleObject = projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Role Name")
Project project = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey("XYZ")
def errorCollection = new SimpleErrorCollection();
Collection<String> actorCollection = new ArrayList<>();
actorCollection.add("Group A");

projectRoleService.addActorsToProjectRole(actorCollection, projectRoleObject, project, ProjectRoleActor.USER_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE, errorCollection)

Thanks also Alexey

Hi, 

USER_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE

Didn't work for me. I used 

GROUP_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE

instead, and it works! 👍

[Slava Gefen]

BTW @Alexey Matveev Appfire_ can you help with how to add groups into four different roles in the project at the same time?

If I use in the console

projectRoleService.addActorsToProjectRole(actorCollection, projectRoleObject, project, ProjectRoleActor.USER_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE, errorCollection)

four times then only first one executes.

Thanks in advance
With kind regards
Slava

Hi Slava Gefen,

I tried the code its working for me when I tried with 

GROUP_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE

But I need to change the role of  users.  

Please suggest

Hey @Likhitha Kosanam great that it works for you. To change a role I suppose you need two actions: Remove user from a role and add them to another as described in the doc:
ProjectRoleService (Atlassian JIRA 7.1.2 API)

With kind regards
Slava

Check this out - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Product-Apps-questions/Jira-Script-runner-add-user-to-project-role/qaq-p/230748

Below script have no static check errors. Compare your script line by line. And just adapt it to use groups instead of users.

Thanks Anton - I had capitalized the 'a' in addActors by mistake
