Just try to make this javascript and run it

var allSites = siteService.listSites(null, null, 0);

/* //Uncomment for Logging
  var logFile = companyhome.childByNamePath("log.txt");
   if (logFile == null)
   {
      logFile = companyhome.createFile("log.txt");
   }
*/
for (var siteIndex = 0; siteIndex < allSites.length; siteIndex++) {
   createAuthorities(allSites[siteIndex].shortName, [YourRoleName, YourRoleName2], allSites[siteIndex].getNode().id);
}

function createAuthorities(siteName, rolesList, siteId) {
   var prefix = "site_" + siteName + "_";
   var n=search.findNode("workspace://SpacesStore/"+siteId);
   
   for (var roleIndex = 0; roleIndex < rolesList.length; roleIndex++) {
      var groupName = prefix + rolesList[roleIndex];
      
      if (people.getGroup("GROUP_" + groupName) == null) {
         people.createGroup(groupName); // Build the groups
      }
      if(n!=null)
      {   
         n.setPermission(rolesList[roleIndex], "GROUP_" + groupName); //Set the permisions at Site Node
      }
   }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Where YourRoleName and YourRoleName2 is the Role name you had created.. in your problem "YourRoleName = FndocTest"

I hope its helps you

Hi kszosze !

Thank you for your script !
I have tried it, but it doesn't work, I got this message :

error : 06220059 Failed to execute script 'workspace://SpacesStore/b3deffd0-e0e0-47f3-b210-05e4f9c2c131': 06220058 ReferenceError: "MyCustomManager" is not defined (workspace://SpacesStore/b3deffd0-e0e0-47f3-b210-05e4f9c2c131#13)‍

have you got an idea ?

Thanks.

We had a very similar issue for our site, but as far as we know, we didn't create any new custom roles; we just edited files like the workflowModel.xml, adhoc_processdefinition.xml, etc. We ended up getting the error for "GROUP_site_[sitename]_All" on all sites, which I think is an Alfresco default group.

kszosze's script worked for us, so I'm not sure what issue the other poster was having (though I note the same thing happened to a completely different person in this other thread). Did you remember to replace all instances of "CustomRole, CustomRole2" with your own value(s)?

I used this script for 4.0d and it worked great. Only thing I'll note is that Role needs to be in quotes (CustomRole should be "CustomRole").

What file should this script be added to?

I have a similar issue after adding new permissions according to these instructions:
