List inactive users using a plugin

[Angel Montenegro]

Hi,

I'm writing a plugin to get some information from confluence. That information includes a list of all inactive (deleted) users that has written a comment on a specific space.

How to do that using the Confluence Plugin API?

I tried using the following managers, but all of them work only with active users:

• SpaceManager
• UserManager
• SpacePermissionManager
• PermissionManager

I really need some help here.

Thanks a lot.

You can use

userAccessor.isDeactivated(user)

to examine if the user is deactivated.

If your plugin extends the class ConfluenceActionSupport you can get the userAccessor by the help of the method getUserAccessor().

Hi Angel,

I think the following documents might be of some use to help you develop a plugin to identify inactive users:

https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+Plugin+Guide

All the best,

It will work when the website is back up again. Atlassian seem to be having some issues with servers today, this is the 2nd service that's been down today. maybe it's upgrade day!

Hey Matthew, do you know how to execute queries inside the plugin?

In order to get the list of inactive users I need to perform the following quer:

select * from cwd_user

where active = 'F';

But I dont know how to do that using the search classes provided on Confluence, I tried with the following classes, but I couldnt construct a query to get the inactive users:

import com.atlassian.confluence.search.v2.ISearch;
import com.atlassian.confluence.search.v2.QueryFactory;
import com.atlassian.confluence.search.v2.SearchManager;
import com.atlassian.confluence.search.v2.SearchQuery;
import com.atlassian.confluence.search.v2.query.AllQuery;

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
