Hi @Debasis Pati ,

Sample script to provide role using script ;-

var grRole = new GlideRecord('sys_user_has_role');
    grRole.initialize();
    grRole.user='user_sysid';
    grRole.role='role_sysid';
    grRole.insert();

Can you share all your scripts and error screenshots as well

i am using the script in workflow activity and the activity is running fine but its not adding the user to the group and hence not providing the role as well.No script errors are also coming

Not sure how good idea it is - as this bring lots of security issues if not designed well - but you can check the UI Script ElevatedRole . Check UI Page elevated_role_dialog as well. You have GlideSecurityManager which you can invoke to elevate priviliges. This should be done when you impersonate (script done) admin user, then grant elevated , then assign security_manager.

Will take some time to make it work, but its doable for sure, as I personally done it few year back.

Still, better to handle this process differently - not everyone needs security rights .

Hope this helps a bit!

Cheers,
