Script to remove list / multiple users from a specified group

[Darren Campbell]

I have a scenario where we have a JIRA instance (6.4.7).  I have to do some user management clean up and I'm wanting to be able to run a script (ideally using Scriptrunner) to allow me to remove multiple users from a specified group..

Any help would be appreciated

Hiya Darren!

You should be able to do something like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.groupManager
def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.userUtil
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager

def usersToRemove = ["exampleUser1","exampleUser2","exampleUser3","exampleUser4","exampleUser5"] //User Names
def groupToAlter = groupManager.getGroup("NameOfGroup")

usersToRemove.each{
    def currentUser = userManager.getUserByName(it)
    userUtil.removeUserFromGroup(groupToAlter, currentUser)
}

Take this script, fill in the user names, fill in the name of the group, and then run it in the Script Console!

Is this close to what you were looking for? :D

Hi @Aidan Derossett [Adaptavist] tried your script in Jira 6.4.13 in script console, getting error :

No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserUtilImpl.removeUserFromGroup() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.ImmutableGroup, com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser)

Pls suggest

That script is for Jira 7+

Jira 6 has different user objects, you'll need to convert it to use applicationuser objects I think.

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ,

Will this script work for JIRA data center. I executed the script with two users and license count has reduced by 200. How will the script work for groups that has sub-groups? Thanks

Jira is not aware of sub-groups, it just sees one single list of users in a group.  I suspect it will fail for members of sub-groups.

But, yes, it should work fine for data centre.

Hello Nic, 

Would this script be able to remove from multiple users in Crowd 2 groups each?

if users on list have let's say jira and confluence to be removed?

Is there a specific API or console to run the script in ?

much thanks 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes it can do that if you tweak it a bit to aim at the groups.

It is a Scriptrunner script, so Aiden built it to be run in the SR console
