Export group membership

[Dmitriy Gerasimov]

Hello

I have two Jira instances: old and new. Both of them use AD as user storage. But user groups stored in JIRA Internal Directory.

Can I copy user group membership from one instance to another?

Not from within Jira, but you can do it via the REST API. Have a look at the REST API documentation. I created a script that extracts users from specific groups, get asked from time to time to provide that data.

FYI, at some point in the last two weeks, this has stopped working for anyone who's not a site admin. The REST API returns "You are not authorized to perform this action. Administrator privileges are required."

This change broke some of our in-house tools.
