Creating a New User in Liferay Whenever a Liferay Object Entry is Added with Default Site, Role, and Password

Issue

• Creating a new user in Liferay whenever a new entry is created in the Liferay Object with a default Site, Role, and password?

Environment

• Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

• • In Liferay objects, object action defines custom business logic that you run manually or automatically for object entry events.

  • Navigate to Control Panel > Objects and create an object.

  • After saving the object, go to the Fields tab and click + Add and configure the fields.

  • Here we need to add the fields that are required to create a user in Liferay for example: First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, and Email address.
  • Go to the Actions tab, click +  Add to create an action to create a user when new entries are added, and fill up the Basic Info with Action Label and Action Info.
  • Now Configure Action Trigger with the below details:
    • Trigger: Select On After Add.
    • Condition: Leave blank (optional, for conditional logic).
    • Action: Add an Object Entry on User
  • Map the fields from the original object to the fields of the User object as shown in the image:

• • Now create a new Action to assign the default Role, Password, and Site to the newly created user.

  • For the second action, we need to use a Groovy script to assign the default Role, Password, and Site to the newly created user.

    • Trigger: Select On After Add.
    • Condition: Leave blank (optional, for conditional logic).
    • Action Type: Choose Groovy Script.

    Below I'm sharing some snapshots and the Groovy script for your reference.
