Overview
It’s surprisingly difficult to simply return a list of administrators for a Jira project. I had to hunt for a relatively simple way to accomplish this. In the end I found a snippet to build on, written by Mark Markov and located here on the Atlassian forums.
I initially got frustrated because I was looking to return all of the administrators using the libraries that deal with permissions. Permissions and roles are two very different things in Jira; permissions are set up using a permission scheme, and applied to more than one Jira Project. Roles and Users are specific to each Project.
Returning the users in a Projec role requires the use of several libraries. Outlined below are two pieces of Groovy code for accomplishing this. The first returns all users in a given role, across all of the projects in Jira. The second returns the users in a role for an explicitly defined project.

As always, we start by declaring our imports. The foundation of any Jira or Confluence Groovy script is the Component Accessor. We’ll also need the Project Manager and the Project Role Manager
