Is there a way to disable say 100 users (on jira) at one go, instead of going into each profile and disabling him one by one.
PS: JIRA6 has the disable user checkbox.
Can we use REST API to do bulk disabling?
Rahul
The GUI has no option for doing this in a bulk operation.
The fastest way to solve this issue is:
1. Connect to your JIRA database
2. Search for table [dbo].[cwd_user]
3. Select all relevant users and set the value in column "active" to "0"
Make sure the database is shutdown when doing this operation
Hi Rahul,
This thread gives an overview of some (safe) options to deactivate users:

updateUser from JIRA Command Line Interface can be used in combination with one of the run actions like runFromSql, runFromCsv, or runFromList. This can be done on a live system.
Well, I suppose you mean that JIRA is shut down. Might be a tad difficult to change a value in a database that is not running
