How to assign role automatically for imported users? I scheduling a job to run to import new users every week and i want to assign role 'end_user_new' to these users automatically, how to do that?

Hi,

In your transform map, write an onAfter script and assign end_user_new role once the user is inserted.

Hi,

I also suggest you tag the role to a group and add user in the group which is the best practice.

if(action =="insert"){

  var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

  gr.initialize();

  gr.user = target.sys_id;   //After new user is inserted

  gr.group = 'sys_id_of_group';   // Tag the role to a group & add users in group

  gr.insert();

}

Thanks

Hi alikutty,

You are telling i need to write transform script, to add user to a group?

[Alikutty A]

Yes and you should add the role to this group, This will help in maintenance. It is not a best practice to directly tag roles to a user.

Thanks
