Hello @André Felipe Rodrigues Lopes , If you are looking into a marketplace application for this use case, Power Scripts offers the solution you need. With functions like admAddUserToGroup, you can easily add an existing user to a group. You can also create new groups with admCreateGroup or new users with admCreateAccount. Using those you can create a script to perform these actions in bulk for a list of users/groups. Hope it helps! Anna

Hi @André Felipe Rodrigues Lopes

To add multiple users to a group in Jira Cloud via the API, you need to make multiple API calls. At the moment, the Jira Cloud REST API does not support adding several users to a group in a single call.

However, you can automate this process by writing a script that loops through your list of users, adding each one to the group individually.

While there are alternative methods that can help you achieve your goal without deep scripting knowledge, the simplest method involves writing a script.

Alternative Methods:

* Postman
* jira automation/CLI tools
* Third Party apps on Atlassian Marketplace
