Power Scripts Scripts™ for Jira (server)

Level: BASIC

At creation time, you want to assign the issue first to the manager of the current user, to decide and categorize the issue. The problem is that the relationship between the current user and the manager is not declared in JIRA Jira (as a project admin, for instance), but in the LDAP.

Solution

...


Code Block
languagejava
titlecreate_postfunction.sil
string mgr = ldapUserRecord("manager", "(sAMAccountName=" + currentUser() + ")"); //get the current user's manager DN

string cnUser = substring(mgr, 0, indexOf(mgr,",")); //establish the cn, this is the manager user (that may depend on your setup)

string mgrUserName = ldapUserRecord("sAMAccountName", cnUser); //again, a lookup in the Active Directory to get the manager

//Note: these LDAP calls are automatically cached, so performance gets better if it is found in cache

if(userExists(mgrUserName)) { //make sure this is defined in JIRA
 assignee = mgrUserName;
} else {
 //fallback to project admin
 assignee = projectPM(project);
}

...

Note

The above assumes that the windows account name is the same the user is using to access JIRAJira. This is really dependent on the AD setup.
