Create/Delete user account only for Confluence in the directory

[Mrinalini Pal]

The directory in Atlassian is available to multiple Atlassian products like Jira, Confluence, etc.

I am trying to create an account in the directory using the POST API . The user created can be accessed by both Jira and Confluence. However, I want to create users only for Confluence and not for Jira.

Similarly when I am using the DELETE API to remove/deactivate a user from the directory, it is removing the user even if the user has access to other Atlassian products(like Jira, Confluence, etc.). I want to delete a user only for Confluence but the user should be able to access Jira.

Are there any other APIs for user creation/deletion that is Atlassian product specific? I need to create and delete users only from Confluence irrespective of other atlassian product accesses. Please help.

You need to work with your current site admin team ASAP, so they can switch your automation rules to a different owners prior to your departure.  This is a part of responsibility of site admins to ensure there no interruption of your site's operations.

Hope this is a part of the existing policies/procedures of our work place.

Hi Joseph, thanks a lot for your response!  Do you happen to have an article or know the steps for transferring automation rules to different owners? Couldn't find any helpful resources. Best, Huda

All you have to do is to access the automation rule via Project settings >> Automation and select the rule that you owned (created), then access the Rule details and update the ownership to your replacement.

If your account is deactivated or deleted from the workspace as a user, any automation rules that you have set up will not continue to function. This is because automation rules are tied to individual user accounts in Trello, and if the account is not active, the rules will not work. However, if an organization admin deactivates your account, your personal data will remain in Atlassian account services, and the admin can reactivate your account at any time, so your automation rules can be reactivated if needed. If your account is deleted, the rules will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
