How do I access a User entity's properties (set via API)?

[Alex van Vucht (GLiNTECH)]

Hi! I love Code Barrel's Automation plugin.

Now, I can set user properties via API:

curl -D- -d'"VIP User"' -u admin:<password> -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://<My JIRA Cloud>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user/properties/vip?username=admin

And I can similarly retrieve them:

curl -D- -u admin:<password> -X GET https://<My JIRA Cloud>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user/properties/vip?username=admin

In the Automation plugin, I can retrieve many Reporter's details, eg., if the Reporter is admin, then I can set the Reporter Username custom field this way:

{
    "fields": {
        "Reporter Username": "{{issue.reporter.name}}"
    }
}

It makes sense to me that this should work, to set a VIP User custom field:

{

    "fields": {
        "VIP User": "{{issue.reporter.properties.vip}}"
    }
}

However this doesn't work. How do I access the "vip" property I set on the user entity in the JIRA Automation plugin?

Hi there,

Before doing any delete operations in the database, I would recomend you to rename these users, and then try to delete it again.

Since the username is like an URL, perhaps it might be causing conflict in the application side.

If you're still facing the problem even renaming the user, I would strongly recommend you to backup your database before applying any delete operation on this, when you have the backup, the delete query should be this one:

delete from cwd_user
where user_name in ('http://netsparker.com/n?.jspa', 'php://filter//resource=http://netsparker.com/n?.jspa')

I hope it helps!

Regards.

Good suggestion, but unfortunately it looks like I will have to wait until I upgrade to v6.0 to edit usernames. (That feature is not available in 5.x). Rather than mucking about in the database, I think I'll wait for my upgrade.

Thanks!
