What is the best way to bulk load users into JIRA? I read about CLi, do I need the extension or can I execute if I shell into JIRA server?

OR can the 'Users' field be used by following this process:

Sorry to duplicate question, but some questions pertaining to this have answers linking to broken links.
The CLI is a tool by Bob swift that you'll need to download to use it - you just won't need to install it into JIRA as this is not a plugin (see the CLI docs).
It is also possible to use a CSV file as you mentioned, you just need to create issues with it and associate a different (new) user to each issue. For example:
IssueType, Summary, assignee bug, "First issue", matheus bug, "Second issue", peter bug, "Third issue", user3 new feature, "Fourth issue", admin
I hope this helps!

Thank you - this helped and the CLI tool was very easy to configure / use.
I'm glad to hear that!
I have written a plugin that may help:

Hi Patrick,
Will your plugin allow us to declare the "User Directory" for the new user ?
Thanks

Hi Andrian,
I am afraid not. It uses a CSV file to create the users.
