How to get groups, which are assigned to a specific role in a project?

[Finn Bökenkamp]

I want to get the names of groups, which are assigned to a role in a project, but only found a way to get all usernames that are assigned to a role, with the following:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project;
import com.atlassian.jira.security.PermissionManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRole;
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleActors;
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser;


Collection<Project> projects = permissionManager.getProjects(new ProjectPermissionKey("BROWSE_PROJECTS"), appUser);
ProjectRoleManager projectRoleManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(ProjectRoleManager.class);
ProjectRole projectRole = projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Role Name");

for(Project project : projects){
     ProjectRoleActors projectRoleActors = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(projectRole, project);
     System.out.println(projectRoleActors.getUsers().toString());
}

 Is there any way to get the groupnames instead of all usernames?

Hi,

You might want to use the ProjectRoleManager.getProjectIdsContainingRoleActorByNameAndType() method, you can define which type of actor you want to get, in your case it would be ProjectRoleActor.GROUP_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE.

More details here: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.0.2/com/atlassian/jira/security/roles/ProjectRoleManager.html#getProjectIdsContainingRoleActorByNameAndType-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-

Hope this helps!

Cheers

This is based on knowing the group name. If you don't want to check all groups individually, you might want to search for an alternative solution. Will keep you posted if I can find one!

Hi,

thanks for this, but you already say it. It would be more comfortable if I get the groupnames directly by the project, instead of run through all groupnames individually and compare each projectId with the result list of the function.

Would be great if there is any solution! Otherwise I go on with this one...

Sure! Please keep us posted if you find any better solution, very interesting question :)

Hi @Finn Bökenkamp ,

Here is the working solution to get the groups assigned to a particular project role in a project.

        Set<String> projGroupNames =new HashSet<String>();

        ProjectRoleManager projectRoleManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(ProjectRoleManager.class);

        ProjectRole projectRole = projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Administrators");

        ProjectRoleActors projectRoleActors = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(projectRole, project);

        for(RoleActor actor : projectRoleActors.getRoleActorsByType(ProjectRoleActor.GROUP_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE)) {

            projGroupNames.add(actor.getParameter());

        }

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Santwana

Hi @Ankush Kumar ~ I have already provided the above. Hope that helps.

@Santwana Sarangi {Appfire} getting error "unable to resolve class RoleActor"

for(RoleActor actor : projectRoleActors.getRoleActorsByType(ProjectRoleActor.GROUP_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE)) {

            projGroupNames.add(actor.getParameter());
