sys_user_grmember

This script will print all of the groups a member is in, in ServiceNow.

Below, we query the [sys_user_grmember] table and find all of the groups where the user field is the sys_id of a specific user.

In the example below, gs.getUserID() is used for the current user, change this value to be any user’s sys_id.

gs.getUserID(); // returns the sys_id of the logged in user

Here is the full script:

var user = gs.getUserID(); // gets current users sys_id
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");
gr.addQuery("user", user);
gr.query();

var arr = [];

while (gr.next()) {
    arr.push(gr.group.getDisplayValue())
}

gs.print("All groups: " + arr);

When this is executed, it will print an array of groups that the user is a member of.

You can change this to get the groups of any user, by changing the sys_id of the variable user, in the script to any user’s sys_id.

var user = "5137153cc611227c000bbd1bd8cd2005"; //a sys_id
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");
gr.addQuery("user", user);
gr.query();

var arr = [];

while (gr.next()) {
    arr.push(gr.group.getDisplayValue())
}

gs.print("All groups: " + arr);
