How to retrieve the sys_id of a newly created User Record

[pennieturner]

Hi there

I have a workflow which creates a new record:

var snuser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

snuser.initialize();

snuser.first_name = current.variables.first_name;

snuser.last_name = current.variables.last_name;

snuser.location = current.variables.location;

snuser.u_start_date = current.variables.start_date;

snuser.title = current.variables.job_title;

snuser.u_end_date = current.variables.end_date;

snuser.company = current.variables.company;

snuser.u_division = snuser.company.parent;

snuser.insert();

From here, I want to populate that new user record into the the requested_for field, but, I am unsure of how to retrieve the sys_id of the new user to be able to add it into the field?

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you in advance.

Hi Pennie Turner

Here you go.

var snuser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

snuser.initialize();

snuser.first_name = current.variables.first_name;

snuser.last_name = current.variables.last_name;

snuser.location = current.variables.location;

snuser.u_start_date = current.variables.start_date;

snuser.title = current.variables.job_title;

snuser.u_end_date = current.variables.end_date;

snuser.company = current.variables.company;

snuser.u_division = snuser.company.parent;

var sysId = snuser.insert(); // sysId will contain the record created sys_id

Hi Pennie

var snuser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

snuser.initialize();

snuser.first_name = current.variables.first_name;

snuser.last_name = current.variables.last_name;

snuser.location = current.variables.location;

snuser.u_start_date = current.variables.start_date;

snuser.title = current.variables.job_title;

snuser.u_end_date = current.variables.end_date;

snuser.company = current.variables.company;

snuser.u_division = snuser.company.parent;

var newsys_id = snuser.insert();

newsys_id is your newly created id
