I am using confluence server 7.13.7. Is there a way through which I can get a user’s username through the user’s mail?
Hi @Dishant Sharma
You could get it by using scriptrunner. What do you want to achieve?
Hi @Dishant Sharma ,
In the Users&Security->User you can search a user based on username or email. So, as a Confluence Admin, if you go to Administration -> User Management -> Users you can perform that action by yourself.
Hope this helps,
Fabio
@Alex Koxaras -Relational- thank you so much for the reply. Actually, I want to get a user's name on the basis of their email. I will have the list of user emails in a confluence instance and I want to fetch their username so that I can use it for making other API calls to get some more details about that particular user. I will also have the required administrative privileges to make such API calls.
@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ Thanks for the reply. Actually, I was looking for a REST API so that I can use the returned username inside my code.
@Dishant Sharma I don't get it..
A user will send you an email.
You want from that email to get the users' username automatically (?).
And make some API requests.
Correct?
@Alex Koxaras -Relational- Yes, I want the user's username.
you can try this Rest API https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.3.0/#api/2/user-findUsers
@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ the API you provided is for Jira, but @Dishant Sharma is asking for Confluence. Unless the latter really wants for Jira and he mistakenly stated Confluence. Can the above work for Confluence?
You are right @Alex Koxaras -Relational- . It seems to be not existing for Confluence.
I found the following ticket https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-47399 that seems to be be fixed without a suggestion.
