can i update user email using script?

[srinivasp]

Is it possible to update user email using script?

[Bartosz Czyżewski]

No problem. Got one for you:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.ApplicationUserBuilderImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
 
def um = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
 
def user = um.getUserByName('username') as ApplicationUser
def newData = new ApplicationUserBuilderImpl(user).name('newUserName').build()
 
um.updateUser(newData)

[Volodymyr Krupach]

You can do it with UserManager:

UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
userManager.updateUser(appUser);

Please see javadoc.

Hi Volodymyr, Thanks for the update. I did not see any setEmail() method. Could you please tell how to set email to existing appUser object ?

[Volodymyr Krupach]

You need to use ApplicationUserBuilder: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/bc/user/ApplicationUserBuilder.html#emailAddress-java.lang.String-

[Volodymyr Krupach]

ApplicationUserBuilderImpl has constructor that accepts ApplicationUser: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/bc/user/ApplicationUserBuilderImpl.html#ApplicationUserBuilderImpl-com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser-

Is indexing required if we update the email using the above method?

[srinivasp]

I have used usertemplate and it worked {code} UserTemplate userTemplate = new UserTemplate(user); userTemplate.setEmailAddress("abc@abc.com"); userManager.updateUser(userTemplate); {code}

[srinivasp]

Will it cause performance issues and trigger indexing if we update email address for hundreds of users?

[Volodymyr Krupach]

I guess there should not be performance problems but you never know before you try :-)

[Bartosz Czyżewski]

@Volodymyr Krupach did you managed to write simple script with ApplicationUserBuilder?

Could you please provide us with a sample? 

[Volodymyr Krupach]

I do not have a script for user editing but as always JIRA sources is your best friend. Please check com.atlassian.jira.web.action.admin.user.EditUser class.

Yes, you can do it via curl against the JIRA REST API.

[srinivasp]

Can we do it using groovy? we need to update email ids for many users.

[Deleted user]

Yes you can too! Sorry if I'm biased to shell :)
