userManager : getAllUsers() & getAllApplicationUsers() difference ?

Quentin Mahé

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a simple script that should return a list of all JIRA users and their last login date.

I've searched this place for a bit and found that if someone wanted to get a list of all JIRA users, the 2 methods in the title were the way to go.

But I can't find what's exactly the difference between those 2. I've tried on different servers (prod, preprod and so on), and they would both give me the same amount of users. In the end I can use any, but I would still like to use the right methods for my script.

Thanks !

PS : I know they're deprecated but I do need a list of ALL users so it sadly is the way to go (may change in the future tho)

Hi @Quentin Mahé ,

welcome to the community!

I've studied the documentation and it seems to me, that the methods are the same. I would use getAllApplicationUsers, because it is newer.

I've tried to find another way to get all users. It returns both active and inactive users. How many users do you have in your instance?

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContextImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.search.UserSearchParams
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.search.UserSearchService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

UserSearchParams.Builder paramBuilder = UserSearchParams.builder()
        .allowEmptyQuery(true)
        .includeActive(true)
        .includeInactive(true)

ApplicationUser loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
JiraServiceContextImpl jiraServiceContext = new JiraServiceContextImpl(loggedInUser)

Collection<ApplicationUser> users = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserSearchService).findUsers(jiraServiceContext, "", paramBuilder.build())

Would it work in your case? Please let me know. Thank you.
