Is it possible to create new JIRA users with Groovy

Scott Gilliland

Hello Atlassian forum members,

Is it possible to add new users to JIRA using Groovy? I have looked through the UserManager and ApplicationUser but could not find anything related to new user creation. If anyone has experience with this and could assist, or could point me to the documentation should I have simply missed it I would appreciate it.

Thanks, and I hope this finds everyone doing well.

Regards,

Scott

addUser and related actions are available in the JIRA Command Line Interface (CLI) and can be used in almost any scripting language.

Or if you decide to use Script Runner (and for JIRA v7.*) you can execute the script below to your script console

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService)

UserService.CreateUserRequest createUserRequest = UserService.CreateUserRequest.
        withUserDetails(user, "username", "password", "user@example.com", "Test User: user")
UserService.CreateUserValidationResult result = userService.validateCreateUser(createUserRequest)
if(result.isValid())
    userService.createUser(result)
else
    result.getErrorCollection()

For JIRA v6.*

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService)

UserService.CreateUserValidationResult createUserValidationResult =
        userService.validateCreateUserForSetup(
                user.directoryUser,
                "username",
                "password",
                "password",
                "userName@example.com",
                "User Full Name")

if(createUserValidationResult.isValid()) {
    def newUser = userService.createUserWithNotification(createUserValidationResult)
    return "User ${newUser.displayName} succesfully created"
} else
    createUserValidationResult.getErrorCollection()

There are several methods you can call and create users with different rights see the UserService API, for example if you want a user with admin rights use

userService.validateCreateUserForAdmin(...)

and if you do not want to receive "user created" notifications use

userService.createUserWithNoNotification(...)

Two options always better than one....

I edited the params to make them more clear.

Kind regards

I have seen some of the Bob Swift tools and they look quite powerful. Perhaps in the future we will have a chance to work with them. Thank you for your suggestion!
