Bulk move users from one group to another

Frank October 5, 2018

Hi

I need to bulk move users from one group to another. This is for JIRA cloud and confluence

 

Or Is there way to edit the permissions of the users in group in bulk?

exit


Here's a powershell script I've written up which does the trick for me. Simply just prompts the user for a group name and then grabs the ID's from that group to a file named "users.csv" in the same directory. It will then prompt for the group to add the users to and iterate over the file one by one. Hope this helps someone.
