import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

// the username of the new user - needs to be lowercase and unique - required
final String userName = "user"

// The password for the new user - if empty a random password will be generated
final String password = "password"

// The email address for the new user - required
final String emailAddress = "user@jira.com"

// The display name for the new user - required
final String displayName = "New User"

// notifications are sent by default, set to false to not send a notification
final boolean sendNotification = false

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService)

def newCreateRequest = UserService.CreateUserRequest.withUserDetails(loggedInUser, userName, password, emailAddress, displayName)
.sendNotification(sendNotification)

def createValidationResult = userService.validateCreateUser(newCreateRequest)
assert createValidationResult.isValid() : createValidationResult.errorCollection

@Vikrant Yadav I tried to adjust my answer and it dissapeared :(

The fix is:

def users = [
[userName: "superman", displayName: "Superman", password: "superman", emailAddress: "superman@gmail.com"],
[userName: "batman", displayName: "Batman", password: null, emailAddress: "batman@gmail.com"]
]

I used "{" / "}" instead of "[" / "]". Give it a try and let me know :)

For others:

It can be simply done using "for" loop in groovy / Java:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def users = [
[userName: "superman", displayName: "Superman", password: "superman", emailAddress: "superman@gmail.com"],
[userName: "batman", displayName: "Batman", password: null, emailAddress: "batman@gmail.com"]
]

// notifications are sent by default, set to false to not send a notification
final boolean sendNotification = false

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService)

for(def user: users){

    def newCreateRequest = UserService.CreateUserRequest.withUserDetails(loggedInUser,  user.userName, user.password, user.emailAddress, user.displayName)
.sendNotification(sendNotification)

    def createValidationResult = userService.validateCreateUser(newCreateRequest)
    if(createValidationResult.isValid()){
        userService.createUser(createValidationResult)
    } else {
        log.error createValidationResult.errorCollection
    }
}

Hi @Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]  Now showing lots of error. 

[Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]]

hi @Vikrant Yadav these errors are "ok", you are not using TYPES in groovy, but "def" so console for example does not know property "errorCollection" on "createValidationResult" as property "createValidationResult" does not have TYPE defined.

Real errors will appear when you try to execute the script.

[Vikrant Yadav]

Hey @Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]  still not working, getting error

[Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]]

@Vikrant Yadav  my first answer appeared again, try the code in the first example, I will delete the second one to clean this theme up

[Vikrant Yadav]

Hi @Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]  first response also giving error. I already attached the screenshot

[Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]]

Hi @Vikrant Yadav I fixed braces after you reported error { -> [ and } -> ] as there was error with this. Can you check it once again, please?

[Vikrant Yadav]

Hi @Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]  in this script where braces do i need to changes, can you please share the correct script. 

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def users = [
[userName: "superman", displayName: "Superman", password: "superman", emailAddress: "superman@gmail.com"],
[userName: "batman", displayName: "Batman", password: null, emailAddress: "batman@gmail.com"]
]

// notifications are sent by default, set to false to not send a notification
final boolean sendNotification = false

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService)

for(def user: users){

    def newCreateRequest = UserService.CreateUserRequest.withUserDetails(loggedInUser,  user.userName, user.password, user.emailAddress, user.displayName)
.sendNotification(sendNotification)

    def createValidationResult = userService.validateCreateUser(newCreateRequest)
    if(createValidationResult.isValid()){
        userService.createUser(createValidationResult)
    } else {
        log.error createValidationResult.errorCollection
    }
}

@Vikrant Yadav this is correct script, I already fixed braces in it. Just give it a try.

[Vikrant Yadav]

Hi @Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]  still this script showing error , but it's working. creating users. Thanks Mate

[Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]]

Great to hear it's working for you, it will show errors until you will not used TYPED variables. But I guess it is one time operation so it will not affect your Jira configuration experience :)

Hi, yes you can, you need collection of users data:

• username
• displayname
• password
• email address

It can be for example

def users = [[username: "superman", displayname: "Superman", password: "superman", email: "superman@gmail.com"], [username: "batman", displayname: "Batman", password: null, email: "batman@gmail.com"]]

Then you need to adjust script little bit: 

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor


def users = [
[userName: "superman", displayName: "Superman", password: "superman", emailAddress: "superman@gmail.com"], 
[userName: "batman", displayName: "Batman", password: null, emailAddress: "batman@gmail.com"]
]

// notifications are sent by default, set to false to not send a notification
final boolean sendNotification = false

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService)

for(def user: users){
    def newCreateRequest = UserService.CreateUserRequest.withUserDetails(loggedInUser, user.userName, user.password, user.emailAddress, user.displayName).sendNotification(sendNotification)

    def createValidationResult = userService.validateCreateUser(newCreateRequest)

    def valid = createValidationResult.isValid()
    if(valid){
        userService.createUser(createValidationResult)
    }else{
        log.error createValidationResult.errorCollection
    }
}

I didn't test the script so give it a try and let me know what is the result.

Note:

• password can be set to null, in such case some random default password is generated for the user
• notification can be set of you change final boolean sendNotification = false to final boolean sendNotification = true, I think the notification means "welcome" email in this case but I'm not sure so just test it on some testing user

Hey @Martin Bayer [MoroSystems, s.r.o.]  thanks for the response. But getting an error , i used the script shared by you :-
