How can I manually (no e-mail invitation) add a user?

[Panos Konstantinidis]

Hello,

OK this might sound like a strange question, but how do I manually add a user (no e-mail invitation)? I've been going through the settings but I cannot find how to do it.

The idea is that I want to add a user that will be used exclusively for CI/CD.

Thank you

Panos

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can not create a user without an email address.  

There is a "cheat" I use for this sometimes - gmail (and other systems) allow you to set up distinct aliases for a mailbox, and if you use one of these, the Atlassian account system sees it as a separate email.

So, say you've got pk@gmail.com as a simple account, try inviting pk+cicd@gmail.com. 

You'll get the email, so log out the Atlassian systems you're logged into now, and use the link in the invite to confirm that you want to use the new account.

Thank you for your prompt reply Nic.

I thought so but I hoped maybe I was missing something. Yes I will probably use the gmail trick, or maybe a temp e-mail address.

Thank you again.

I would caution you against using a temporary email address - if anything goes wrong, you won't be able to recover the account, and you'll have to redo everything from scratch.
