How to move user(s) to another directory ?

Question

Hello !

After changing some usernames to the login stored in our LDAP for these Jira users, I need to move these users to the "Internal with LDAP Authentication User Directory" to force the control of their password by LDAP.

Groovy plugin has a script to change username but it seems it doesn't have a such one to move user to another directory.

So I've tried to do it directly in the database by changing the value of the columns named "directory_id" in tables cwd_user and cwd_membersihp but when I show the list of the users in Jira, they are still all in the "JIRA Internal Directory" !

Hi Philipe

Seems to me that your case is related to the following liks:

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/87000/how-to-migrate-users-from-one-directory-to-another-using-sql?page=1#87293

In both ones you have an workaround to change user directory.
