Add users to group

Question

Hi all,

I have used below code to add users to group in sharepoint successfully.

<script type="text/javascript">
SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', retrieveListItems);
function retrieveListItems(){
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('MyTestList');
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.load(collListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded),Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}
function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args){
var listItemEnumerator = collListItem.getEnumerator();
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
var siteCollUrl=oListItem.get_item('siteCollUrl');
addUserToSharePointGroup(siteCollUrl);
}
}            
function addUserToSharePointGroup(siteUrl){
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
    var collGroup = clientContext.get_web().get_siteGroups();
    var oGroup = collGroup.getById(7);
    var userCreationInfo = new SP.UserCreationInformation();
    userCreationInfo.set_email('[e-mail]');
    userCreationInfo.set_loginName('DOMAIN\alias');
    userCreationInfo.set_title('John');
    this.oUser = oGroup.get_users().add(userCreationInfo);
    clientContext.load(oUser);
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onAddSucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));

}
function onAddSucceeded() {
    console.log(this.oUser.get_title() + " added.");
}
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
    alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
</script>

Answer 1

Hi,

you cannot hard code the domain name in code and pass only username?

Answer 2

if iam passing only username example in my case kkumar but its not adding to the group.

Answer 3

You can append the domain in your code right? like below

function doSomething(userName)

{

var validName="domainName\"+userName;

}

Answer 6

Hi Praveenrangu,

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges is used in Server Object Model, as your code is JavaScript Client Object Model, this is not the right way to fix this error.

And let's back to the original question, as Ulas's suggestion, you could use "Domain\"+username for the login name.

If this is helpful to the question, I would suggest to Mark as answer so that it could help others who stuck with the same question in the forum.

About the new error occurred, I would suggest you could create a new thread which will focus on the new question.

Thanks

Best Regards
