We'd like to consolidate separate groups into a single group. Would anyone have recommendations?

Question

It would seem we can figure out something with the REST api, using groupuserpicker and group operations, but I wanted to check if anyone had a better idea or had something to share?

Thanks

If it were me, I'd grab a copy of Bob Swift's Jira CLI and then run commands that look something like this:

acli -a runFromUserList --group "Group 1" --common "--action addUserToGroup --userId \"@userKey@\" --group \"Consolidated Group\""

acli -a runFromUserList --group "Group 2"  --common "--action addUserToGroup --userId \"@userKey@\" --group \"Consolidated Group\""

acli -a runFromUserList --group "Group 3"  --common "--action addUserToGroup --userId \"@userKey@\" --group \"Consolidated Group\

(Credit to @Amelie Winkler _Appfire_ for the hint on using the @userId@ replacement variable. But thanks to good old GDPR I think it's probably best to use @userKey@ in case there are duplicate user names.)

Here's some documentation:

* runFromUserList 
* addUserToGroup
