Return type

boolean

Returns "true" if the user has the specified permission , or "false" otherwise.

Note
titleNote

 This This routine also verifies the issue security level. If the specified user cannot see the issue because his security level does not allow it, the routine will return "false" for the project permissions even if the user does have the specified privilege. This happens because the issue security comes first and will prohibit the user from taking actions that are otherwise allowed by the permission scheme.

The look-up is first made after the userkey, then after the username.

...

Code Block
for(string user in usersInGroups({"QA-Testers"})){
	if(hasPermission(17, user, key)){
		assignee = user;
		return;
	}
} 

Result: The issue will be assigned to one of the testers who have the permission to be assigned issues on the current project.

Tip
titleTip

Attached to this page is permissions.incl which that contains variable definitions for all the above permissions. You can upload this file to your JIRA Jira instance via the SIL Manager, include it in your scripts and then use the variables defined there to make the code easier to understand.

 


Using permissions.incl, the  the above example becomeswill look like this:

Code Block
include "permissions.incl"; // assuming the file is in the default programs folder 
for(string user in usersInGroups({"QA-Testers"})){ 
	if(hasPermission(ASSIGNABLE_USER, user, key)){ 
		assignee = user; 
		return; 
	} 
}
