How to get Current Logged in user roles and groups through background script?

[Ratnakar7]

Hi @thomas94 ,

You can get the current logged-in user's roles and groups through a background script using GlideSystem methods. Here's how you can do it:

// Get the current user's roles
var userRoles = gs.getUser().getRoles();

// Get the current user's groups
var userSysID = gs.getUserID();
var userGroups = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
userGroups.addQuery('user', userSysID);
userGroups.query();
var groupsList = [];
while (userGroups.next()) {
    groupsList.push(userGroups.group.getDisplayValue());
}

// Display the user's roles and groups
gs.info("User Roles: " + userRoles);
gs.info("User Groups: " + groupsList.join(', '));

Thanks,

Ratnakar

Hi @thomas94 

I think you need to get user_name first, then the group and roles for clear picture. Please run the following script-  

var currentUserID = gs.getUserID(); 
var currentUserName = gs.getUserName(); 

var roleNames = [];
var groups = [];

var userRoles = new GlideRecord('sys_user_has_role');
userRoles.addQuery('user', currentUserID);
userRoles.query();

while (userRoles.next()) {
    var roleID = userRoles.getValue('role');
    var roleRecord = new GlideRecord('sys_user_role');
    if (roleRecord.get(roleID)) {
        roleNames.push(roleRecord.getValue('name')); 
    }
}

var groupMemberships = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
groupMemberships.addQuery('user', currentUserID);
groupMemberships.query();

while (groupMemberships.next()) {
    var groupId = groupMemberships.getValue('group');
    var groupRecord = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
    if (groupRecord.get(groupId)) {
        groups.push(groupRecord.getDisplayValue('name')); 
    }
}

gs.info('User: ' + currentUserName + '\nRoles: ' + roleNames.join(', ') + '\nGroups: ' + groups.join(', '));

Please mark my answer helpful and correct.

// Get the current user's roles and groups
var user = gs.getUser();
var userId = user.getID();

// Query User Roles
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_has_role');
gr.addQuery('user', userId);
gr.query();
v ar roles = [];
while (gr.next()) {
roles.push(gr.role.name.getDisplayValue());
}

// Query User Groups
var groups = [];
var groupGr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
groupGr.addQuery('user', userId);
groupGr.query();
while (groupGr.next()) {
groups.push(groupGr.group.name.getDisplayValue());
}

// Print out the roles and groups
gs.info("Current User Roles: " + roles.join(', '));
gs.info("Current User Groups: " + groups.join(', '));

Below is code i checked working in background script:

// Get the current logged-in user
var user = gs.getUser();

// Get the user's roles
var userRoles = user.getRoles();
gs.info("User Roles: " + userRoles);

// Query user record to get associated groups
var userGroups = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
userGroups.addQuery('user', user.getID());
userGroups.query();

if (userGroups.getRowCount() > 0) {
    gs.info("User Groups:");
    while (userGroups.next()) {
        var group = userGroups.getDisplayValue('group');
        gs.info(group);
    }
} else {
    gs.info("User is not a member of any groups.");
}
