Can you update a group's type with a fix script?

[mattfollowell]

I'm fairly new to Servicenow, been on the platform as an admin for about 4 months, and I am trying to update 32 groups with a fix script vs manually opening the records and updating the group type. Here is what I have:

var grp = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
var grname='';
grp.addQuery('sys_id');
grp.query();
    while(grp.next()){
       grname=grp.name;
}
    if(grname.includes("Director")){
        grp.type = grp.type + ",1cb8ab9bff500200158bffffffffff62";
}

I'm missing something, I'm just not sure what.

Hi Matt,

So you want to update the group which has name containing Director and update the group type.

Do you want to include one more group type to the existing one?

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi Matt,

See my comments below:

var grp = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
grp.addQuery('name', 'CONTAINS', 'Director'); // this is the right way to build query
grp.query();
    while(grp.next()){

        grp.type = grp.type + ",1cb8ab9bff500200158bffffffffff62";

grp.update();
}

Please test the query by printing the group names before updating the record.
