I have site admin access, using http basic auth, I am able to create user and groups using REST API; however, when I try to add an user using the following POST resource /rest/api/2/group/user?groupname=personal2, and payload {"name": "userX"}, I get the following error.
{
"errorMessages": [
"Specified user does not exist or you do not have required permissions"
],
"errors": {}
}
Could anyone help me?
Hi,
As specify in the documentation, you should use the accountId.
I suggest you to:
If the user is already created, use Find users endpoint to get the accountId
It works, Thanks a lot Quentin, I appreciate your help on this matter.
Regards,
Carlos
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
This worked for me as well.
I would like to note that the documentation that comes with the postman collection displays the wrong format for the accountId.
Meaning it doesnt show the example as <number>:<guid> but instead just the <guid> piece.

What type of access token did you use to create the user? When I execute the POST request with the acces token I generated in jira, I get a'failed to create user' error message...

I used the API Token generated under my Atlassian Account Settings.
I know you asked this almost 2y back so the UI must be different. But for anyone else that sees this page, you will need to generate a Key there and use it for the API calls.
You cannot use the API Key generated in admin.atlassian.com. This key is for using the admin APIs
