Tag a role to an Assignment Group

[sachinhs]

Folks,

Need your help on how to add/append a Role to an Assignment group via script.

On a custom module, user will select a Role (Choice) and Group (Reference), once saved I want to add that role into the group, so that everyone under that Group will inherit the Role.

Kindly suggest.

Hi @sachinhs 

Why don't you use the Flow designer and catalogue item for the same? Create a catalogue item ask the user about role and group and then in flow in action update the record.

Have to agree with @Dr Atul G- LNG here.  A lot less can go wrong if you use Flow Designer.
Assuming the user is filling out a form on the Catalog....

Trigger:  Catalog Item
Flow
1 - Get Variables 
2 - Lookup record (sys_group_has_role) where...
- role is same as role variable
- group is same as group variable
3 - If 2 returns something
4 notify user group already has that role
5 ELSE
6 Create Record (sys_group_has_role)
--- role = role variable

--- group = group variable

Hi @sachinhs ,

You can create after insert business rule on custom table with below script.

var role = new GlideRecord('sys_group_has_role');

role.initialize();

role.group = current.groupfiled_backendname;

role.role = current.rolefiled_backendname;

role.insert();

If my response helped, please mark it as the accepted solution ✅ and give a thumbs up👍.
Thanks,

Thank you Anand for the response.

If i can seek some more help, below is my form from a custom application.

Here Role is "Choice" and Assignment Group is "Reference". To retrieve a Choice field's value from BusinessRule, should we use Client script and AJAX & then trigger BusinessRule?

Kindly suggest..
