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

Instructions

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

  • addProjectRoleActors: adds users or groups to a project role, and,
  • userId: provides the User ID for user management and other actions. For some actions, a comma-separated list of IDs is required. 

Ensure that the project role(s) exists on the global level. 

  1. Consider the following example shows a project key, JIRACLI, that has a role defined as jira-software-users:

  2. Navigate to Admin > Manage Apps > Run Actions to execute the following CLI action:

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

The result of the above action is similar to the following screenshot:


Info

  • Make sure you have installed the Run CLI action in Jira v9.2 app as the action addProjectRoleActors is compatible with the app from v9.2.
  • It is recommended to test this scenario in a test environment before implementing it in production.
