Is there a way to get users createdDate with Scriptrunner for Confluence ?

[Stefan Salzl]

Hi Community,

I know this from Jira where this can be done very easily with the following method:

user.getCreatedDate()

Does anyone know a comparable way to achieve this in Confluence?

I found the following but I couldn´t figure out how/where to implement:

https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/8.6.1/com/atlassian/confluence/impl/user/crowd/CachedCrowdUser.html#getCreatedDate()

I get users via the userAccessor so I have no idea what to do with this CachedCrowdUser =S

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

You can get the CachedCrowdUser object by using CrowdService.getUser method.

For example:

import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.CrowdService
import com.atlassian.crowd.model.user.TimestampedUser

def crowdService = ComponentLocator.getComponent(CrowdService)
def user = crowdService.getUser('admin') as TimestampedUser

user.getCreatedDate()

I hope this helps! 

Kind regards,
Helmy

I don't have a solution for the JAVA-side of things but maybe this REST solution can prove useful or at least point you in a helpful direction?

The /audit endpoint allows you to review activity related to your instance, including when users are synched from AD, say to the "confluence-users" group, or when created manually.
docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.2.1/#audit-getAuditRecords

Basically, you'd call the audit endpoint, get a list of records (optionally you can specify a timeframe), parse each record to determine if the "summary" = "User created", then capture the "creationDate" property.

Maybe for JAVA, start here? 
com.atlassian.confluence.audit (Atlassian Confluence 8.6.1 API)

Forget this nonsense! Use Helmy's solution!
