Bulk delete users from Crucible Database

Question

I accidentally imported my entire corporate LDAP user database into my Crucible-Fisheye instance, which makes user management extremely difficult.

I want to do a bulk delete of all users who have never actually used the system (less than 150 of the ~10k loaded users have ever actually used the system).  Is the best way to do this via SQL scripts?  I am in the process of creating a local group that contains everyone who has ever registered activity, so I could just delete all users not in that group, but I'm worried about linkages between tables and the best way to do it.

Any suggestions on how to get this done, I'm a SQL novice other than generating simple queries, so all help would be much appreciated.

Hi Matt,

Please try to use the Admin Rest API:

To get a list of all users:

GET /rest-service-fecru/admin/users

More details: https://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/fecru.html#rest-service-fecru:admin:users

To get users in the active group:

GET /rest-service-fecru/admin/groups/{active group name}/users

More details: https://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/fecru.html#rest-service-fecru:admin:groups:name:users

Then you can delete all users which are not in the {active group name}  with:

DELETE /rest-service-fecru/admin/users/{user name}

More details: https://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/fecru.html#rest-service-fecru:admin:users:name

You may want to use the FeCru Admin REST python client when writing the script: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/fecru-rest-examples/src/master/python/
