Description
Returns a list of users common to all the specified groups.
Parameters
Return Type
String []
Returns a list with the usernames of the common users for all the specified groups. The result of the routine is the intersection of the sets of users for each specified group, not the union.
Examples
Example 1
//The following users belong to both groups jira-developers and jira-administrators: user1, user2
string [] groups = {"jira-developers", "jira-administrators"};
string [] usersByGroups;
usersByGroups = usersInGroups(groups);
print("The following users belong to both groups jira-administrators and jira-developers: ");
print(usersByGroups);Result: The following users belong to both groups jira-administrators and jira-developers: user1|user2
Example 2: Union of groups
function getUsers(string [] groups){
string [] users;
for(string group in groups){
string [] currentGrp;
currentGrp = addElement(currentGrp, group);
for(string user in usersInGroups(currentGrp)){
users = addElementIfNotExist(users, user);
}
}
return users;
}
string [] groups = {"jira-developers", "jira-administrators"};
description = getUsers(groups);This example uses the usersInGroups routine to get all users in each group individually and then adding them into a predefined array. So the usersInGroups routine will be called twice: once for jira-administrators and once for jira-developers. Since each time it will be called with a single group, it will return all users from the specified group.
Example 3: Union of groups
The code above (example 2) can be rewritten with the following code:
string [] developers = usersInGroups({"jira -developers"});
string [] administrators = usersInGroups ({"jira-administrators"});
return arrayUnion (developers, administrators );
