Create User API

[James Thompson]

Hello All,

I've written a Python script to create user accounts via the API:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/#api-api-3-user-post

This is a temporary solution until provisioning for OneLogin is available.

This works well, but I don't want the new users to receive an invitation email (they can access JIRA via the OneLogin SAML app so setting a password isn't necessary).

The problem I'm having is that no matter what I do a notification is always sent to the newly created user's email address.

I've tried:

-specifying the 'notification': 'false' parameter

-ommitting the notification parameter altogether, which should default to 'false'

However both methods still result in a notification being sent. Could somebody offer guidance?

Thanks!

James

Hello James,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!
The issue that you are facing where the invitation email is being sent even when setting it to false is actually a bug because, by default, this notification should not be sent:

Thanks for the info Angélica!

I've gone ahead and voted but I think at this point it's more likely that the provisioning features will be in place before the bug is fixed. Fingers crossed.

Regards,

James
