Jira plugin change user permission programmatically

Question

How can I change (update, edit) user permission. For example sign up and create user1, after this user1 have a jira-user permission. I need update permission, and set for example jira-administrator for user1. Is there any class which response for this, or I have to update CWD_USER table in jira DB.

You can move user from one group to another by using Jira SDK API

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserUtil
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group

public void addUserToGroup(String userName, String groupName) {
    UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
    ApplicationUser user = userManager.getUserByName(userName);
    Group group = userManager.getGroup(groupName);
    UserUtil userUtil = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil();
    userUtil.addUserToGroup(group, user.getDirectoryUser());
}
