adding roles to user

sunnysunny · ‎12-22-2016

This is the script for adding roles to the user, which I copied from wiki. Can anyone explain what is accumulated_roles here and why we convert this to string?

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

gr.query();

while(gr.next()) {

if (gr.accumulated_roles.toString().indexOf(",self_service,") == -1) {

gr.roles = gr.roles + ",self_service";

gr.update();

}

Here is the script that will add self service role to all the active users

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

gr.addQuery('active', true)

gr.query();

while(gr.next()) {

var grd = new GlideRecord('sys_user_has_role');

grd.user = gr.sys_id;

grd.role = '[sys_id of the role you want to add]'; // sys_id of self_service role

grd.insert();

}

Ok I need to add self_service role to all the users, so how can I do that?

Can you explain us the business reason a little bit?

So that i can tell you if you need a script to achieve that

they want me to add the self_service role to the role table, so that when we edit the role, we can see that value in there

In order to add a role go to roles module and click new and enter the name.

Once you save the record sys id is created. To get the sys id of the record right click on the form header then you should see options like below
