How to disable email invitation for new users

[Nicolás Santisteban]

I'm using the API /rest/api/2/user for create a bunch of users, since we are testing the availability of migrate our current project management tool to Jira I want to disable the option to send invitations to users so it doesn't send "test" invitation to our actual users, how can I acomplish that. Thanks

Hi @Nicolás Santisteban. Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I was under the impression that you should explicitly specify to receive notifications and not the other way around. Are the users receiving it? You can use "notification": "false".

Something like:

curl --request POST \
 --url 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user' \
 --user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \
 --header 'Accept: application/json' \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --data '{
 "emailAddress": "mia@atlassian.com",
 "displayName": "Mia Krystof",
 "name": "",
 "notification": "false"
}'

Hi! @Ivan Lima Thanks for your answer, in fact I don't want users to receive notifications because we keep doing test migrating lot of tickets from our current PM system. Tried with

"notification": "false"

and also with

"sendNotification": "false"

But both send the invitation to the user from the emailAddress field

Hi @Nicolás Santisteban, you're right. I tested myself, and it's still sending emails. I looked at the Atlassian public issue tracker and found a bug related to this issue.
