How to deactivate the user using JIRA SOAP API?

[SamJ]

I am trying to deactivate users in JIRA using php script and JIRA SOAP Api.

I googled it for and got deleteUser() method for deleting users but unable to find how to make user inactive instead of deleting the user.

Is there any way to deactivate the user using SOAP api?

Please find the code below which deletes the user:

<?php set_time_limit(0); session_start(); $soapClient = new SoapClient("http://jira.abc.com/jira/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2?wsdl"); $token = $soapClient->login('abc', 'abc') or die('Username/Password is not correct!'); $result = $soapClient->deleteUser($token, 'testUser');

Thanks in advance...

The SOAP API was deprecated a long time ago, and all official development on it halted then.  The ability to disable users was added to JIRA after SOAP was deprecated, so I suspect SOAP doesn't have the functions to handle it.

You should really be using REST to interact with JIRA  - SOAP is not just deprecated, but totally removed from JIRA now.

Use updateUser with the deactivate parameter from JIRA Command Line Interface (CLI).
