copy one role permission to another role

I have come across a scenario where I need to assign same set of permissions to multiple roles (Note: Roles are of same type like Regular-Regular etc).

For example: I have created three regular roles "test_role_A", "test_role_B" and "test_role_C". These three roles would have same permissions. So I am wondering If I can assign test_role_A role permissions to test_role_B and test_role_C at one go.

Is there any configuration in Liferay to do so?

After some research I observed that RoleLocalServiceUtil has methods like reassignPermissions, mergePermissions which are not fully satisfying my requirement. However, I found that

ResourcePermissionLocalServiceUtil.addResourcePermissions(resourceName, roleName, scope, resourceActionBitwiseValue)


would help my cause. So here is the beanshell script which will help you copy one role permission to another role of same type.

import com.liferay.portal.util.PortalUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.ResourcePermissionLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.model.ResourcePermission;
import java.util.List;
import com.liferay.portal.service.RoleLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.model.Role;

long companyId = PortalUtil.getCompanyId(actionRequest);
Role fromRole = RoleLocalServiceUtil.getRole(companyId, "<fromRoleName>");
List resourcePermissionList = ResourcePermissionLocalServiceUtil.getRoleResourcePermissions(fromRole.getRoleId());
//array of role names to which permissions needs to be copied
String [] copyToRoles = new String [] {"<ToRoleName1>", "<ToRoleName2>"};
for(String copyToRoleStr: copyToRoles){
    try{
        Role copyToRole = RoleLocalServiceUtil.getRole(companyId, copyToRoleStr);
        try{
            for(int i=0;i< resourcePermissionList.size();i++){
                ResourcePermission rp = resourcePermissionList.get(i);
                ResourcePermissionLocalServiceUtil.addResourcePermissions(rp.getName(), copyToRole.getName(), rp.getScope(), rp.getActionIds());
            }
            out.println("Successfully Assigned permissions of "+fromRole.getName()+" to "+copyToRole.getName());
        }catch(Exception e){
            out.println("Error occured while adding resource permission against role - "+copyToRoleStr+" : "+e.getMessage());
        }
    }catch(Exception e){
        out.println("Error occured while fetching role - "+copyToRoleStr+" : "+e.getMessage());
    }
}
