Hi,
below comments
Are those groups already existing? if yes then currently you will have to manually add the Group Managers of Nike A, Nike B, Nike C, Nike D to the Group Nike Owners
1) For Existing scenario -> do it manually if less group; if more groups are there then write background script
2) For real-time scenario -> below approach
For making it real-time whenever manager of any of the 4 groups changes you want it to be added and remove the older one
Please use below approach
Business Rule on Group Table
BR Condition: Name is One of those 4 and Manager Changes
After Update:
Script: It would get previous manager and current manager
query table and delete record of previous manager and create new record for current manager
var previousManager = previous.manager;
var currentManager = current.manager;
// query Group Member Table
var member = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
member.addQuery('group', current.sys_id);
member.addQuery('user', previousManager);
member.query();
if(member.next()){
member.deleteRecord(); // this will delete old manager
// now you need to add new manager to this group as member
var member1 = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
member1.initialize();
member1.group = current.sys_id;
member1.user = currentManager;
member1.insert();
}
Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi,
Create after insert update BR on group table and add condition Manager -> changes.
script -
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
var users = [];
var gr= new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
gr.addEncodedQuery('name=Flow To Jira^ORname=Developer^ORname=Big Data');//Add your group names inside query i.e your encoded query would be like 'name=Nike A^ORname=Nike B^ORname=Nike C^ORname=Nike D'
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
users.push(gr.manager.name);
}
gs.info("group array ="+users);
var managers=users.toString().split(',');
for (var i = 0; i < managers.length; i++){
var gr1 = new GlideRecord ('sys_user');
gr1.addQuery('name',managers[i]);
gr1.query();
if(gr1.next())
{
var gr11 = new GlideRecord ('sys_user_grmember');
gr11.initialize();
gr11.user = managers[i];
gr11.setDisplayValue('group', 'Managers group');//Name of Group i.e Nike Owners
gr11.insert();
}
}
})(current, previous);
Note- functionality is not fully implemented means it is adding managers in that group even if you change the manager but only problem is it is not removing previous users because we do not have such method to check user id manager or not. upto addition of users it working.
Give a try and let me know.
Thanks,
Dhananjay.

Hi,
Unsure of your exact requirement for adding it as members I would simply create a Relationship from System Defintion >> Relationships & create something as below.
Once done will add it to the Group form as a Related list & then simply modify the Relates list layout to display only Group Managers.
Output as below.
