Script to add role to group

[jared_wentzel]

Does anyone have an example script I can use to add a role to a group. I need to add this as a clone script and I am having a hard time finding any examples to get started with. Basically just need to add the 'admin' role to a group called 'CS-ServiceNow Administrators'. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

var role = new GlideRecord('sys_group_has_role');

role.initialize();

role.group = '<sys_id of group>';

role.role = '<sys_id of admin role>';

role..inherits = true;

role.insert();

That's exactly what I needed, thank you so much!

Mike, I used this below script to add users to a group if they are from a particular location.

var user = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
if(user){
user.addQuery('location','57fd7b993790200044e0bfc8bcbe5d19');
user.query();
//var currentUser = user.getDisplayValue();
while(user.next()) {
   var member = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
   member.initialize();
   member.user = user.name.getDisplayValue();
   member.group = 'b85d44954a3623120004689b2d5dd60a';
   member.insert();
}

Is there a way to ignore the users that are already added to that group & make sure only new users are added ?

So I have this running on a Clone - Cleanup Script. Does anyone know how to make it only run when the clone is to a certain environment? So basically have it running after a clone if the clone is to our dev instance.
