Is there a way to update a user via SOAP?

[srinivasp]

I want to update the details in user object like directory, email etc. Can that be possible with SOAP?

You can do that for an internal JIRA user (except changing directory i guess). Use the updateuser method: http://docs.atlassian.com/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/JiraSoapService.html#updateUser(java.lang.String,%20com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.beans.RemoteUser)

Thanks for your information. The biggest issue here is to update the directory and email.

I don't see a way to do that now remotely.

The remote APIs for Crowd (now embedded in JIRA) do not support any useful administration capabilities (earlier APIs that used to have that support were removed :() - it has been a hole for some time with no effort to fix - see CWD-1912 and related.

Jobin,

Is it possible to update via a service or groovy or something and not necessarily via remote SOAP UI?

Thanks
