Take a user out of a group via workflow script

[HenryD]

Hello, im doing im WF that once it is completed it has a script activity to take the user that the user selects out of the group, the variable is a reference to the user group table that is called "role".  right now i have a script running but no success yet. is there any easier way of doing this or any suggestions? 

var RemoveGroup = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

RemoveGroup.initialize();

RemoveGroup.user = current.variables.requested_for; //user requested

RemoveGroup.group = current.variables.role; //role = variable referencing group table

RemoveGroup.Remove();

var RemoveGroup = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

RemoveGroup.initialize();

RemoveGroup.user = current.variables.requested_for;//user requested 

RemoveGroup.group = current.variables.role; //role = variable referencing group table

RemoveGroup.RemoveGroup();

Hi there,

I assume taking a user out of a group means removing? So deleting the sys_user_grmember record?

You could also do this with zero code (for example Flow Designer). Though responding on your scripting: if this is about deleting, you are nowhere doing any deletions in your script? No deleteRecord() or deleteMultiple(), nothing?

agree, I am trying to remove the user from the group, i thought remove would be a better option since in my mind it would remove them from the group, so going to try deleteRecord, or what would you suggest? apologies

I can understand your thinking, though you cannot just make up things 😁 .Remove() is nothing.

Also just wondering, how did you come up with this piece of scripting? Because also seeing the .initialize() part, that's used when inserting records, not when quering or doing an update or delete. So also that is incorrect. That's why asking how did you come up with this, so we can understand the path you took and perhaps can educate on a better path to take.

I can also just paste some code here that you can just copy, though I don't think you learn that much from just copy/paste all the time.

Hello, yes totally understand i had reused code that i used for a another workflow on adding a group after the workflow finishes via script, & i thought it would be the same thing but just removing it now, i now understand it will have to be differently entirely.
