How to Bulk Add Users to Jira with Bob Swift CLI

[Michael Swartz]

I have seen a number of postings but none of them actually show exactly how to do it.  Sometimes someone will say that they figured it out or that they corrected something and then it worked but never share what the extra little something was that finally made the command work.

This is what I am trying:

acli jiracloud --action runFromCsv --file myFilleName.csv --common "--action addUser" --continue

and this is the error I am getting

Parameter error: This function requires a non-blank value for parameter server.

Question is what does this mean and how do I correct it please?

Thank you for your help.

Check your acli.properties file in your ACLI folder. 

# Below are the connections configured by the ACLI installer:
jiraCredentials = -u myusername@myemail.com -t tokengeneratedpassword
default=jiracloud -s https://mycompany.atlassian.net ${jiraCredentials}

Then your command is:

acli default --action runFromCsv --file myfiletoimport.csv --common "--action addUser --continue" --continue
