Changing group membership using cloud API

[Daniel Goldberg]

Is there an API to add users to confluence groups?

I know there is an API to list, but it seems strange not to have a write API

Hi @Daniel Goldberg,

Unfortunately there is no API to do that.

Also - just to note - using Json-RPC is no longer an option as it is currently removed from Confluence.

So what is your recommended solution for syncing Gsuite groups and associating users to groups?

Hi Daniel,

Have you already had a look at Atlassian Access? It allows you to connect Identity Management systems.

However I am not sure if Google can act like this.

Furthermore you might try to use the Jira cloud API for groups if you also have a Jira subscription. I never tried it this way but as groups are managed for your company.atlassian.net subscription and not for each individual product this might work.

So if I understand correctly, if I have a Jira subscription that is jointly managed with my confluence subscription then I can create groups, associate users with groups and it will transfer over to the confluence subscription?

This is the basic idea for the workaround. As I said, I never tried this out ... I just know that you can manage groups independent of you application - thus the Jira API might be used as workaround.
