Activate or Deactivate a User programmatically

[Ariel Rosa]

Hello guys,

Is there a method to activate/deactivate the user thought java code after version 6.0?
 

The same funcionality as clicking in the checkbox for that in the JIRA admin:

Here's some sample code... in groovy but you can easily write as java 

For JIRA 7:

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService.class)
def user = userManager.getUserByName(username)
def updateUser = userService.newUserBuilder(user).active(false).build()

def updateUserValidationResult = userService.validateUpdateUser(updateUser)

if (updateUserValidationResult.isValid()) {
    userService.updateUser(updateUserValidationResult)
} else {
    log.warn "Update of ${user.name} failed: ${updateUserValidationResult.getErrorCollection().getErrors().entrySet().join(',')}\n"
}

in JIRA 6:

def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService.class)
def user = userUtil.getUserByName(username).getDirectoryUser()
def updateUser = ImmutableUser.newUser(user).active(false).toUser()
def updateUserValidationResult = userService.validateUpdateUser(updateUser)

if (updateUserValidationResult.isValid()) {
    userService.updateUser(updateUserValidationResult)
} else {
    log.warn "Update of ${user.name} failed: ${updateUserValidationResult.getErrorCollection().getErrors().entrySet().join(',')}\n"
}

Hi Jamie, Actually I need to implement in JAVA for JIRA version 6.2 but for testing the code I'm using groovy console where it was not working. validateUpdateUser method is deprecated in JAVA so I'm trying for different way to deactivate users. Could you please suggest? userService.validateUpdateUser(updateUser) Thanks, Srinivas

My Java code is running as JIRA service and there is no user with the current JIRA authentication context. I had added the statement to run as specific user with admin rights and now it started working.
