Enabling site access on JIRA CLOUD to user using REST API Edited

[Shrikant Bhosale]

Hello,

We created users using administrators account. New users are appeared in Users section on JIRA, but created users are not having access on site.

We have hundreds of users and dont want to do it manually from each user's details page.

Is any API option to make this, so I can put in script and iterate for all users.

Tried with curl command as:

curl --insecure -D- --show-error -u admin:pass -X POST --data '{"name":"clientuser","active":"true"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://account.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user?username=clientuser

but it saying user already exists

Gone through https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/user-management-rest-api-changes-in-jira-cloud-858756548.html tried to use PUT, but saying method not available.

Thanks

Hello,

I guess, the users, you created, are not included in any group, which grants access to your site.

You can do it two ways:

1. Go to Product -> Product Access and enable the New users have access to this product. In this case new users will be added automatically to the default group for the product (existing users will not be added):

2. Execute another Rest Api request to add the created users to a group, which are presented in the Product -> Product Access screen

Hi

I have the same issue but I have already added the users to groups and i checked new users have access to the product but still Access site is greyed out

HI Alexey Matveev _cPrime_ I am not sure why are you telling everyone the same answer that the user needs to be added to the group.
Very often I have a user that I want to disable but I do not want to delete the user because we have a policy to keep the user disabled for 3 months and then delete the user.

The user is usually part of multiple groups and usually it has a confluence and JIRA Software license, sometimes also the Service desk license.

I just want to flip the switch "Has access on site" via API because the command is part of my off-boarding application.

Any ideas how to set the Active field to False by using PUT and this uri https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/user?accountId=xxx ?

I would appreciate your help.
