How to add a user to a project Role using Run CLI Actions in Jira

This article explains how to add a user to a project role using the app Run CLI Actions in Jira on Server instance.

Instructions

For this scenario, use the addProjectRoleActors action and userId parameter where: 

• addProjectRoleActors: adding users or groups to a project role.
• userId: User id for user management and other actions. For some actions, a comma-separated list of ids. 

1. Ensure that the project role(s) exist on the global level. 
   
   The below example shows a project key "JIRACLI" that has a role defined as jira-software-users.
   
   

2. Execute the below CLI action by navigating to Admin > Manage Apps > Run Actions :
   

   --action addProjectRoleActors --project "JIRACLI" --role "jira-software-users" --userId "Lucas"

   • It is recommended to test this scenario in a test environment before implementing it in production.
