Can I use automation to invite a user into our Jira Environment?

[Henry Choi]

I'm looking to setup an automation where if I enter the email address of a new user, it will automatically do the invite (like Atlassian Admin > Directory > Invite User) to that address. If I can't do it out of the box, is there any API or marketplace app I can use? 

Conversely, is there a way to automate suspending users by ID'ing their username?

Hi @Henry Choi 

There is no automation for that or a way to access the invite as you see it in the UI.

You can call the API to create a user:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-users/#api-rest-api-2-user-post

Here is mentioned what to add to the body:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Questions/How-can-I-invite-users-in-bulk-using-api/qaq-p/1388790

and then you make another API call to add the user to the groups:
