Migrate users from Confluence to Jira

Question

Some time ago I had to install Conflufluence. Now i have to add Jira server and connect the services. But there is a problem: how to migrate or copy users between those services?

I know there is possibility to share users database between Atlassian services from JIRA by Jira User Server. However I don't know any solution to migrate users from Confluence to Jira.

I would like to avoid re-registration or password change.

I'm using Jira and Confluence Server ;)

Hi

I don't think there is a way to move the passwords, You should be able to create a user using the REST API with a default or generated password and ask the users to change on first login.

But is this solution allow to move passwords also?

Hi @jost90

Are you able to access to Confluence database?

I use a solution that involves extracting the user data into excel, using that to generate a set of REST API calls to insert data into Jira.
