Need to create group automatically via run script

[sreejamukherjee]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to design a catalog item which will automate the process of

1) Creating a new group

2) Add Members to that group

3) Add Role to that group depending on the Type selected from the Item

I am done with the first two requirements but unable to add role to the group dynamically which will be added depending on the Type selected(If the type is "Fulfillment" the role should be "itil" and if the type is "Approval" the role should be "approval_user"). I also want to add the variables that I have used in my item as well as in the "Run Script".

1) Group Name >>(groupname) >>(Single Line Text)

2) Description of the group >> (desc_group) >> (Single Line Text)

3) Select Members >>(select_members) >>(List Collector)

4) Group email >>(group_email) >>(Single Line Text)

5) Support area >>(support_area) >>(Select Box)

5) SA Manager >> (sa_manager) >> (Reference)

6) Vendor Manager >> (vendor_manager) >> (Reference)

7) Type >> (type) >> (Reference)

These all are the variables that I have used in "Run Script" to "Create a new group" and "Add Members to that group".

• var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_group");  
• gr.initialize();  
• gr.name = current.variables.groupname;  
• gr.description = current.variables.desc_group;  
• gr.email = current.variables.group_email;  
• gr.u_support_area = current.variables.support_area;  
• gr.u_sa_manager = current.variables.sa_manager;  
• gr.u_vendor_manager = current.variables.vendor_manager;  
• gr.type = current.variables.type;  
• var sys_id = gr.insert();  
•  
•  
• var user = current.variables.select_members;  
• var user_gr = user.toString().split(",");  
• for(var i = 0;i<user_gr.length;i++){  
• var gr1= new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");  
• gr1.initialize();  
• gr1.user = user_gr[i];  
• gr1.group = sys_id;  
• gr1.insert();  
• }  
•  
•  
• if(gr.type == 'Fulfillment'){  
• var gr2 = new GlideRecord("sys_user_role");  
• gr2.addQuery('name' , 'itil');      
• gr2.query();      
• if (gr2.next()){  
•   var gr3 = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');      
•               gr3.addQuery('name' , gr.name);      
•               gr3.query();      
•               while (gr3.next()){        
•   var gr4 = new GlideRecord('sys_group_has_role');      
•                       gr4.addQuery('group', gr3.sys_id);      
•                       gr4.addQuery('role', gr2.sys_id);      
•                       gr4.query();      
•                       if (gr4.getRowCount() == 0){      
•                               var gr5 = new GlideRecord('sys_group_has_role');      
•                               gr5.initialize();      
•                               gr5.group = gr.sys_id;      
•                               gr5.role = gr2.sys_id;      
•                               gr5.inherits = true;  
•                                 gr5.insert();    
•   }  
•   }  
• }  
• }

Please go through with the code and make me correct if I made any mistake. Any help will be highly obliged.

Thanks in advance.

This should work:

if (current.variables.type.getDisplayValue() == "your_type_name_here") {

...

}

Log current.variables.type.getDisplayValue() just in case to see what you get.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response. All I needed to do is to set a delay in between group creation and to add role. Now its working fine..

Better is to get a log of gr.type in between script and compare it with that in if condition.

Also, if type field is Choice list then u need to mention value of choice not label of it, and value of choice is usually case sensitive.
