Hi, Prasad.

As Lauren and Ralph have mentioned below, this isn't supported at this time. If you can say more about what you are trying to accomplish, we might be able to suggest another way to accomplish it.

 Hi Millard, 


I am trying to add a list of pre-defined members of a specific-role to subscribers at a particular state in a workitem. or if i can add a list of pre-defined members of a specific-role as multiple approvers to an approval at a particular state also will solve my problem.

For example, there are 10 users added to a project out of which 4 of them are assigned with the project manager role and would like these 4 name to be added automatically to the subscriber list of a workitem in a particular state.

That is definitely not supported with JavaScript. See  http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/a-create-approval-work-item-save-participant/ for a potential solution. The Participant creates an approval with approves having a specific role. You could use a similar approach to add subscribers.

Hi Prasad,
This forum post has information about accessing users by role using javascript: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/97599/how-to-use-javascript-api-to-get-all-the-users-idaccounts-in-an-role-by-the-role-name.  Depending on what you're trying to do, using Role Based User Lists may work for you: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2F%2Fcom.ibm.team.workitem.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_configuring_role_based_user_list.html.

Just to make it clear here, there is at this point no access to more information for a user than

  1. the name (getLabel())
  2. the UUID (getValue())

Built in workitem customization, such as the role based user list, might be a solution for some of the requirements.
