[rt-users] User ID in a script?

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi John,

You can use this script as a starting point to loop through all your users:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
### External libraries ###
use strict;
### Modify the next line to fit your installation
use lib ("/opt/local/software/rt-3.6.3/lib");
package RT;
use RT::Interface::CLI qw(CleanEnv loc);
use RT::Users;
CleanEnv();
RT::LoadConfig();
RT::Init();
my $users = new RT::Users($RT::SystemUser);
$users->order_by(VALUE => 'Id');
#### Loop through users ####
while ( my $User = $users->Next ) {
   print sprintf("UserID: %s, RealName: %s\n",
                 $User->Id(), $User->RealName());
}

Regards,
Gene
