Unable to use API token in python script

Balaji Shinde_r1cmjp

Hello all,

I need to disable 900 Atlassian cloud users, I followed https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-management/rest/#api-users-account-id-manage-lifecycle-disable-post

I generated the API token for myself and using in a python script to test it, but I am getting error "{"code":401,"message":"Unauthorized"}". I have site admin access as well as directory admin access. I am able to disable the users via Atlassian portal. My token is also showing as valid in portal.

My code:

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.atlassian.com/users/FirstName.LastName@MyCompany.com/manage/lifecycle/disable"

headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer MyApiToken"
}

payload = json.dumps( {
"message": "Disabling Users who have left Company"
} )

response = requests.request(
"POST",
url,
data=payload,
headers=headers
)

print(response.text)

Hi @Balaji Shinde ,

This is the API you're looking for api-group-Users , although there isn't a way of deactivating users in cloud at the moment.

Authenticating to this you'll use your username and api token as the password.
