JIRA- BULK ADD USERS to PROJECT ROLES

[Chitra Koneti]

Hi ,

We are going to have 5000 users who have to be added to JIRA and  was looking for a way where in we can add user's in bulk to different project roles. Is there any way to do apart from buying a add-on ?

Hello @Chitra Koneti 

What you require is currently an open ticket

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-66668

Hence either you can use the REST API approach as suggested in first answer. Or you can use the paid plugin JIRA CLI

Hello,

You can use Jira's rest api. You can either add users to project roles or add users to groups and add these groups to project roles. I would recommend second option because it is easier to manage. You can do both by using rest api.
