is there a way to create a confluence user in a specified directory using groovy script?

[Malesys Elie]

Hello,

I'm able to create a confluence user in groovy with the following script :

{code}

import com.atlassian.confluence.user.UserAccessor

import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator

import com.atlassian.user.UserManager

UserManager userManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(UserManager);

UserAccessor userAccessor = ComponentLocator.getComponent(UserAccessor);

userManager.createUser("TestUser");

{code}

but I don't find any way to specify the user directory that should be used.

can someone help?

Regards,

Elie.

Here's how I create a user in Confluence Data Center 8.5.3, and add the user into a group.

Sorry, this didn't answer the question. But I record it here, since when I google how to create a user in Confluence using groovy, this post always comes on the first page. So I'd like to record the codes here, hope it could help someone.

import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator
import com.atlassian.confluence.user.UserAccessor
import com.atlassian.confluence.user.ConfluenceUserImpl
import com.atlassian.user.security.password.Credential
import com.atlassian.user.GroupManager

def userAccessor = ComponentLocator.getComponent(UserAccessor)
def groupManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(GroupManager)

def user = new ConfluenceUserImpl("foo", "foo", "foo@email.local")
userAccessor.createUser(user, Credential.unencrypted('your password here'))

def group = groupManager.getGroup("some-group")
userAccessor.addMembership(group, user)
