Having to manually add hundreds of users to new groups is unacceptable.

Any way to automate it?

Hello, @Paul Heath Armengol 

Just install our User Management for Jira Cloud on a trial licence, and use Bulk User Actions to select your users, including using a CSV-based filter if necessary and add them to groups in one swift bulk operation.

Reach out to our 24x7 support if required, we always happy to help.

Hey @Paul Heath Armengol

What criteria do you need to use when bulk adding users to groups?

Creating your own script using the Atlassian APIs would give you the most flexibility.

Using an add-on, like Admin Automations, would probably be easiest, but give you fewer options around criteria when selecting users.

Merry Christmas!
