Hi @VyankteshK 

// Construct the encoded query string
var encodedQuery = 'department=Your Department^active=true';

// Query for users that need to have their manager updated
var userGr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
userGr.addEncodedQuery(encodedQuery);
userGr.query();

// Set the new manager's user ID
var newManagerID = 'new_manager_user_id';

// Loop through the users and update their manager
while (userGr.next()) {
    userGr.manager = newManagerID;
    userGr.update();
    gs.info('Manager updated for user ' + userGr.name);
}

Please find the above sample script and do changes as per your requirement.

Thanks
SP.

This is good, just to add I would add set limit to 50

Also you can use the below , if it fits your use case

gr.autoSysFields(false); //do not update system fields

gr.setWorkflow(false); //do not run business rules

50 is a small number you can simply do it visa list view change. As suggested by @Dr Atul G- LNG
