Fix Script Role contains Roles, problem in views.

[juancarrion]

Hello Community, 

I have a problem in my current development that I couldn't crack.

1. I want to find all the users which has the view_changer role.
2. Problem is that view_changer role is contain in several roles, groups,etc.
Bottom line how can I find all the roles and group that contains view_changer role?

because thinking itil has the view_changer and admin has itil so at the end both admin and itil have the view_changer is there any easy way to do this on ServiceNow?

I just ran this and it seemed to work:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addActiveQuery();
gr.query();
var count = 0;
var x = gr.getRowCount();
var curuser = gs.getUser();
while(gr.next()){
	var user = curuser.getUserByID(gr.user_name);
	if(user.hasRole('view_changer')){
		gs.print("** " + gr.name + " has role");
		count++;
	}
}
gs.print("** Found " + count + " users out of " + x + " with role.");

Find all roles that contain view_changer

Navigate to sys_user_role_contains.list and search for the role view_change

Find all groups that contain view_changer

Navigate to sys_group_has_role.list and search for the role view_change OR whatever roles you identified that contain the role

Find all users that have the view_change role

Navigate to sys_user_has_role.list and search for the role view_change OR whatever roles you identified that contain the role

Hi @juancarrion , 

You need to fetch data from tables and then filter based on need. 

Get the list of role(s) which contains this view_change role from table "sys_user_role_contains" 

Get the list of User who has this role, either direct or through group and inherited & inheritence count will explain that. You will get the Contained By  and Group both the count here.

-Thanks,
