How to import inactive users

Benjamin Marty

I have a JSON import file that has a bunch of content, but the content I'm concerned with is basically structured like this:

{

   "users" : [

      {

         "name" : "OldSystem_johndoe",

         "fullname" : "John Doe",

         "active" : false

      }

   ]

}

But after the JSON import completes, the user is active and is a member of the jira-users group. Why? How can I import inactive users?

Hello Benjamin,

the code that you have pasted should work. However we had a bug connected to this functionality ( https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/JIM-1080) - it was fixed in JIM 6.1.0. We are using very similar code piece in our tests. As far as I know it's working correctly. Please make sure that you are using the newest JIM version: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.plugins.jira-importers-plugin

In case it's still not working please let me know by commenting this answer or creating a new issue under JIM project.

Cheers,
