marking bulk users as Active/Inactive using groovy , jelly or any other script ?

[Sumit Kumar]

Is there any method available for marking Users as inactive using Jelly , Groovy or any other script ?

Thanks in advance

Using Script Runner you can use this script to deactivate a user:

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.ImmutableUser
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager

UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
UserService userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService.class)
User updateUser
UserService.UpdateUserValidationResult updateUserValidationResult

userManager.getUsers().findAll{user -> user.displayName == 'Test'}.each { user ->
    updateUser = ImmutableUser.newUser(user).active(false).toUser()
    updateUserValidationResult = userService.validateUpdateUser(updateUser)
    if (updateUserValidationResult.isValid()) {
        userService.updateUser(updateUserValidationResult)
    } else {
        // throw error
    }
}

In this case the script searches for a user with display name "Test" and deactivates this user. You can adapt this to your needs.

Henning, We are using JIRA 6.2, since validateUpdateUser(User) is deprecated in the latest version, I have modified the JAVA code as below but it is not working. Strangely, the same code is working on groovy console. Am I doing something wrong here? Please suggest. UserService userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService.class); UserService.UpdateUserValidationResult updateUserValidationResult; ImmutableUser.Builder builder = ImmutableUser.newUser(jiraUser); builder.active(false); ApplicationUser updatedUser = new DelegatingApplicationUser( jiraUser.getName(), builder.toUser()); updateUserValidationResult = userService.validateUpdateUser(updatedUser); if (updateUserValidationResult.isValid()) { userService.updateUser(updateUserValidationResult); }

[Henning Tietgens]

Did you get any errors?

[srinivasp]

There are no errors. I found updateUserValidationResult.isValid() is returning false

[Henning Tietgens]

Then take a look into the errorcollection of the validation result. In Groovy this could be done like this updateUserValidationResult.errorCollection.errorMessages.each { log?.error "Error Message: $it" } updateUserValidationResult.errorCollection.errors.each { log?.error "Error: $it" } updateUserValidationResult.errorCollection.reasons.each { log?.error "Reason: $it" }

[srinivasp]

I found there are no error messagas when I execute from groovy console but from JAVA i am seeing this message "You do not have the permission to update users."

[Henning Tietgens]

If your Java code is running as a service there is probably no user within the current jira authentication context (ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()). Try to run as a specific user by setting it to a user who has the needed rights (in this case 'admin', replace with appropriate username)

def user = userManager.getUserByName('admin')
ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().setLoggedInUser(user)

[srinivasp]

Yes, My Java code is running as JIRA service and there is no user with the current JIRA authentication context. With your suggestion, I had added the statement to run as specific user with admin rights and now it started working. Thank you very much for your help, appreciate that.

Hi Henning,

can you help me to make you script work with a condition on a group ?

[Henning Tietgens]

Sure. Basically you could add your condition to the 

.findAll{user -> user.displayName == 'Test'}

part of the script. But more likely you could only retrieve users that are relevant for the groups you're looking for. For this you could use 

ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getAllUsersInGroupNamesUnsorted(['groupname1', 'groupname2'])

instead of 

userManager.getUsers().findAll{user -> user.displayName == 'Test'}

If you need more help, you need to be more specific about your goal.

Have fun,
Henning

Hi Henning,

it worked perfectly, all my users in "jira-inactive-users" are now disabled. Its great.

Thank you

I am faceing "Error Messages: [You do not have the permission to update users.]" this issue in service context.

See comment with "running as a service" above (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/marking-bulk-users-as-Active-Inactive-using-groovy-jelly-or-any/qaq-p/547231#M84894).
