I am looking for automation of inactive users in Jira and send notification for those users who have not accessed Jira/Confluence for more than a month.. Can anyone help me with this.. Is there any way to remove the users as its tedious to remove the users manually from user management. There is a limit for the users in Jira and confluence, however due to budget the limit cannot be exceeded hence I have to remove it manually.. I had proposed the idea to the team.. I have also thought of JQL but still need assistance.
Also Its cloud version.
Can anyone help me here or reach out to me on linkedn and share some insights on this.
Hi Vidya,
Sure it is possible by using smart value :
{{attachment.author.active}}: Returns true if their account is active, and false if not.
however I would need to know when this automation would be triggered also what would be the use case of this global automation. Also what kind of notification would you like to send, email or some Jira notification ?
Please clarify above and I will help you build global automation,
Or you might find this article helpful on just how to remove inactive jira users :

Hi Vidya,
Sure, I will prepare an automation and show you it here whenever it's ready. Do you have an idea what would be a trigger ?
Thanks,

Hi Vidya,
You can do this with python:
1.Download the list with all active users
2.Filter by: Last Seen
3.Send emai to the filtered result.
To do this you will need a python developer.

Thats a great idea, then I have to look for phython developer in my project which is near to impossible due to budget constraint..Let me see on site developer is available. Thank you so much.

Hi Vidya - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
I suggest you use an app from the Marketplace. I know Kantega is a good one.

Welcome to the community @Vidya VASUDEVAN
This is more feasible with Data Center with usage of ScriptRunner that has a dedicated script for deleting inactive users. On cloud, ScriptRunner is limited for this kind of a task. You can use the API where you would need the account_id of each user and you can bulk delete them just with one API call.

For cloud its quite difficult, also its for the team, I need to consider the budget for API again , I checked for marketyard but sadly we need approval for the API which is next to impossible.. But thank you for the information.. Good to know this information.. Thank you so much.
