Is that possible to migrate dashboard, filter from one user to another JIRA user

Jay Gao1

hi team,

One user's account has been marked deleted in Crowd which is for our JIRA SSO. And the user could not log into JIRA any more.

Now we want to query out all dashboards and filters which this user subscribed in JIRA and migrate them to new JIRA account.

Is that possible to do migration through UI?

Thanks!

Jay

Changing the owner of a private filter is not possible. You could use the Script Runner plugin and the following script to copy the filters from the old user to another user.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.search.SearchRequest
import com.atlassian.jira.util.SimpleErrorCollection
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContextImpl

oldUser = 'olduser'
newUser = 'newuser'

result = ''
userUtil = componentManager.getUserUtil()
jsc = new JiraServiceContextImpl(userUtil.getUser(newUser),new SimpleErrorCollection(),componentManager.jiraAuthenticationContext.i18nHelper)
srs = componentManager.getSearchRequestService()
filters = srs.getOwnedFilters(userUtil.getUser(oldUser))
result += "Found ${filters.size()} filters for user $oldUser.\n"
filters.each {
    newFilter = new SearchRequest(it.query, newUser, it.name, it.description)
    srs.validateFilterForCreate(jsc,newFilter)
    if (jsc.errorCollection.errorMessages.size()==0) {
        sr = srs.createFilter(jsc,newFilter)
        if (sr) {
            result += "Created filter ${srs.createFilter(jsc,newFilter)?.name} for $newUser.\n"
        } else {
            result += "Filter could not be created: ${jsc.errorCollection.errors}\n"
        }
    } else {
        result += "Filter creation validation failed: ${jsc.errorCollection.errors}\n"
    }
}
result
