Change local confluence username using curl

Joe Budzowski October 24, 2022

Confluence CLI  plugin cannot change a local account username which CAN be done with JIRA CLI.

Has anybody used CURL to change a local Confluence account username?

Hi @Joe Budzowski – Amelie from the CLI team here.

Both Jira CLI and Confluence CLI have the ability to change a user name with the "UpdateUser" action: https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/1066778517/updateUser

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

Amelie

Unfortunately, while the JIRA CLI updateUser action  does has a newUserId parameter, the Confluence CLI does not.

Hi @Joe Budzowski I see, you need to rename the user ID. Yes, you're right.  Unfortunately, there are no appropriate REST APIs that allow us to provide this capability this time.

I'm sorry I don't have better news at the moment!

Sorry I did  not specify this in the initial post:  I want to use curl to interact with the user admin interface as a terminal user, not through REST


server/admin/users/viewuser.action?username=schedule.roboto
server/admin/users/edituser.action?username=schedule.roboto
