get the creation date of a user

[valerian Baillet]

Hi,

I try to develop a plugin and I need to know the creation date of each user. I don't think that it's possible using java classes so I try to use ActiveObject but I didn't know how to do that.

Can somebody help me?

Regards

Hello,

You can do it like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def users = ComponentAccessor.getOfBizDelegator().findAll("User");
def usernames=new ArrayList<String>();
users.each{user ->

usernames.add(user.getString("createdDate"))
}
return usernames;

Thank you for your answer.

I have just one more question. What is the type of users ? I use java so I need the type.

Can you help me?

This was exactly what I was looking for, but I would like to have the output be sorted by createdDate, how can I do this?

[Quentin Mahé]

This is how I sort an array of objects, which contains username/date of creation/last login date, sorted by username :

Return = tempReturn.toSorted{a, b -> a.Username <=> b.Username}

where tempReturn contains all the objects, and Return is the final result. It's probably not the best way to do it, but it works for me, and I'm not concerned by performance obligations so I just need something that works, I'll clean/improve it later (I'm a bit rusty on the dev side, haven't done any in the past 5 years)

There is now a feature request (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-74496) in Atlassian's backlog to get the method getCreatedDate() added to one of the existing user objects: com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser or com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User.

Anybody coming to this community article and interested in having the method added please vote the request to get traction!

Thanks!

Anyone know how to get the user's created date in Confluence?

[Sam Gerzon]

I ran the following in ScriptRunner console:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def users = ComponentAccessor.getOfBizDelegator().findAll("User");
def usernames=new ArrayList<String>();
users.each{user ->

usernames.add(user.getString("createdDate"))
}
return usernames;

The output appears to return the create date, but does not return the users names for some reason, can anyone assist?

Thanks!

Hello Sam,

With this simple modification you could get the Username and CreatedDate

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def users = ComponentAccessor.getOfBizDelegator().findAll("User");

def usernames=new ArrayList<String>();

users.each{user ->

usernames.add(user.getString("userName"))
usernames.add(user.getString("createdDate"))
}

return usernames;

[Sam Gerzon]

That worked! Thank you so much!!!

@Nicolás Figueroa Your help is much appreciated. 

How would I edit the script to return just active users? I can't seem to find the solution.

[Nicolás Figueroa]

Hello Sam,

In a quick way to do it is to add:

usernames.add(user.getString("active"))

If active:1 (True, Active) and active:0 (False)

But also you can get that info in "User Management" > "Users"
