Hi @sureshs3 ,

can you explain in detail what fields we get in the payload? (like user name, First Name, last Name, email id, etc).

If you could post a sample it would be great in helping to build out the scripts.

Regards,

Johns

We need User ID, First Name, Last Name details to be update and Password needs reset filed to be set active.

and any role to be added to user profile.

Use this script:

var user = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

user.addQuery("sys_id", user); // user is a variable which has a sys_id of the user which needs to be checked whether it exist or not

user.query();

if(user.next())

{

//update user roles

var roles = new GlideRecord("sys_user_has_role");

roles.initialize();

roles.roles = "282bf1fac6112285017366cb5f867469" // itil role sys_id

roles.user = user.sys_id;

roles.insert();

}

//else create a user record if user doesnt exist

var user1 = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

user1.initialize();

user1.user_name= username; // username is the variable which has the username of the new user

user1.first_name = user_firstname;

user1.insert();

See if this helps you!
