import groovy.json.JsonOutput
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import groovy.json.JsonBuilder

//def finalJSON = new JsonBuilder(jsonBody).toString().build()

def jsonBody = [:]

jsonBody.put("email", "fred10@example.com")
jsonBody.put("fullName", "Fred F. User10")

// Define Web API to post to
def baseURL = "http://jiradev.mcb.local:8080/rest/servicedeskapi/customer;"

// Establish Connection and post data

URL url = new URL(baseURL);
//URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();

HttpURLConnection connection = url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection;
connection.requestMethod = "POST"
connection.doOutput = true
connection.setRequestProperty('Authorization', 'Basic ' + 'username:password'.bytes.encodeBase64().toString())
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8")
connection.outputStream
connection.outputStream.withWriter("UTF-8") { new StreamingJsonBuilder(it, jsonBody) }
connection.connect();
log.info ("URL="+url+"Status="+connection.getResponseCode() as String)

Kindly advice,

I see you are using Jira Server ... why are you using the REST API?

You can connect directly to the Java API:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.UserDetails

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
newUserData = new UserDetails("fred10@example.com", "Fred F. User10").withEmail("fred10@example.com")
newUser = userManager.createUser(newUserData)
