Automation for Jira user creation

[Rolo]

Is there a way to create users automatically? I want to create a board where issues are created with user creation requests and when issues are in a certain state they are sent to create automatically

Hi @Rolo 

a User cannot be created per Automation rule itself (Automation can't even assign Users to a project role), but you could call the Jira API from a rule with a "Send Web Request" Action. The "create user" request is experimental but exists: The Jira Cloud platform REST API (atlassian.com)

To add to @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_'s answer. The user would also have to be put into a group that granted them product access, as just creating the user isn't super useful. This could be done by calling one of the Jira APIs.
