Is there a way to authorize a regular jira user a role to create jira account like administrator?

Question

whether it is only jira administrator can create user? if not, who can create a jira account except administrator in jira? is there a method to give a regular jira user a role to create user in jira like administrator?

I use the interface jirasoapservice(createUser) to create a jira user, it need the administrator login to createUser, so the administrator's username and password exposed in the code, so I want a regular jira user login to createUser.

thanks.

Hi Jobin,

can you tell me how to create a new SOAP method using the SOAP Service Plugin to expose the create user method to other users?

The jira version which i used is 3.13.x.

thanks

Unfortunately, that is required. The only other option available is to create a new SOAP method using the SOAP Service Plugin to expose the create user method to other users I guess.
