Trouble adding users to the newly created project

Nawar Noorudeen

I am having trouble adding new users to the project. Is it better to add users using their id or usernames? Below is my code:

if project_response.status_code == 201:

    print(f"Jira project '{project_name}' created successfully!")

    # Extract the project ID from the project creation response

    project_id = project_response.json()["id"]

    # Users to be added to the project

    users_to_add = ["xxx"]  # Add the usernames you want to add

    # Jira REST API endpoint for adding users to a project role

    role_id = "10195"  # Replace with the appropriate role ID

    add_users_url = f"{jira_url}/rest/api/3/project/{project_key}/role/{role_id}"

    # JSON payload for adding users to the project role

    users_payload = {

        "usernames": users_to_add

    }

    # Headers for the add users request

    users_headers = {

        "Content-Type": "application/json",

        "Accept": "application/json"

    }

    # Make the API call to add users to the project role

    users_response = requests.post(

        add_users_url,

        auth=HTTPBasicAuth(email, api_token),

        json=users_payload,

        headers=users_headers,

    )

    # Check the response status for adding users

    if users_response.status_code == 204:

        print("Users added to the project successfully!")

    else:

        print(f"Failed to add users to the project. Status code: {users_response.status_code}")

        print("Response content:")

        print(users_response.text)

else:

    print(f"Failed to create Jira project. Status code: {project_response.status_code}")

    print("Response content:")

    print(project_response.text)

The error I am recieving:

 Response content:
{"errorMessages":["Invalid request payload. Refer to the REST API documentation and try again."]}

Hi, @Nawar Noorudeen 

 

In list of users what exactly are you using, emails or ids?

According to REST API documentation, you must use user IDs.

Also, I don't see in documentation way to add list of users. You must add them one-by-one.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-project-role-actors/#api-rest-api-3-project-projectidorkey-role-id-post

Try to add one more loop, that will iterate through ids. Something like:

users = ["id1","id2","id3"]

for user_id in users:
    users_payload = {
        "user": user_id
}
    ...
    ...
