Changing user password with Jelly runner

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

When we moved in 2007 from another ticket system to Jira, we created with the Jelly runner some 10.000 Jira issue, 150 Jira users and groups. All this went fine and fast.

Today we have around 100 externals users (i.e. customer) and some hundred internal users, the latter a manage in our Active Directory while the externals are managed in a 'Jira Internal Directory'.

We're asked by Legal to change the external passwords from time to time and my idea was to do this by Jelly again and send the new password by email to the customers.

I found some older posts here (from 2013) with similar proposals. Is Jelly still available in my Jira version v9.11.2?

Thanks

Matthias

Hi Matthias - Welcome on the Community!

Jellyrunner /Jelly Script has been discontinued for a while now:

A logical alternative would be the excellent app Scriptrunner from Adaptavist, though this is not free.

If you want something free, you could look into utilizing the REST API.
