JIRA CLI bulk add Users with specified group(s)

Question

Hi Bob!

I am using the following user-groups1.csv file to import new users to specified groups:

userId,userPassword,userEmail,userFullName,group
sero1,Pa$$w0rd,sergejk1@mymail.com,Sergej1 Kleva1,group1

With the command:

jira --action runFromCsv --common "--action addUser" --file "C:\Temp\user-groups1.csv"

But all created users are in all groups ! No matter what i write in "group" field!

OUPUT:

Run: --action addUser --userId "sero1" --userPassword *** --userEmail "sergejk1@mymail.com" --
userFullName "Sergej1 Kleva1" --group "group1"
User with id 'sero1' already in group 'group1'. Ignore.
User 'sero1' added.

Run completed successfully. 1 actions were successful from file: C:\Temp\user-groups1.csv

I want newly created users to be in group(s) which i write in "group" field in csv.

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!!!

Brgds,

Sero

btw: if you want to add user to multiple groups you should have the right syntax in csv:

ie:

userId, userPassword, userEmail, userFullName, group
user1, Pa$$w0rd, user1@my.company.com, John Doe, "group1, group2, group3"

group1, group2 and group3 should exist before you trigger the command!

I have come to workaround this problem by:

creating new  jira-imported-users group

Disable all other default application access group and leave only "jira-imported-users" group in your JIRA -> Administration -> Applications -> Application Access
