Script to remove a list of users from all groups

[Peter Ellis]

Hi,

I have some regular user management clean up where I need to remove a list of users from all the groups that they are in. Jira server v7 and using ScriptRunner Script Console. Can anyone help?

Much appreciated

Hi @Peter Ellis,

this script uses the Jira API 7.6.1 and worked on my system (Jira Server 7.9).

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

List<String> userNames = ["testuser"] // add all usernames in this array where you want to remove the groups

def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
for (String userName in userNames) {
 def groups = userUtil.getGroupsForUser(userName)
 def user = userManager.getUserByName(userName)
 for (def group in groups) {
   userUtil.removeUserFromGroup(group, user)
 }
}

With kind regards,
Mario

Hi @Mario Carabelli,

Would you know how to deactivate the user too?

Best regards

Hi @[deleted]

nice script:-)

Due to performance reasons I modified it as shown... (changed removeUserFromGroup to removeUserFromGroups)

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

List<String> userNames = ["TestUser"] // add all usernames in this array where you want to remove the groups

def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
for (String userName in userNames) {
  def groups = userUtil.getGroupsForUser(userName)
  def user = userManager.getUserByName(userName)
  userUtil.removeUserFromGroups(groups, user)
}

 Cheers

Heiko
