How to manage mass users in the 2 related projects ?

[Praveen Chitturi]

Hi,

we’re having JIRA in AWS. We’ve setup two projects related to same topic. And we need to add around 200 users to the projects among 3 different roles. Currently I need to add all of them manually. But if I need to do any change one user group of 80 people to another role then it’s very challenging.

so does there any way to manage this kind of mass user list in jira project ? Like groups or azure groups etc ?

Hi @Praveen Chitturi 

If user group remains always same.

Add all the users to a group and then manage the permissions with role

If the user in a group keeps changing then it's best to manage each user with role and get the roles assignment via API. Here are the available APIs

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/group-addUserToGroup

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/project/{projectIdOrKey}/role-addActorUsers

Let me know how you want to approach the solution and we will help you

Hi @Pramodh M ,

There will be total 4 user groups called PMO, IT, Business and Vendor. Uses under each use group will not change their user group. The whole user group might need to change from one role to another. 

so the user group chat a better in this situation here right ?

Yes @Praveen Chitturi 

Correct!! Manage the user membership with the group.

Then use roles to manage the permissions.

Hi @Pramodh M ,

one more last check - does the users addition to the group can be able to done by only JIRA admin but not project admin ?

@Praveen Chitturi 

Yes addition of users to the group is managed by Jira Admin 

The addition of roles to users or groups are managed by Project Admin
