Remove a user to a specific group using Jira API.

[Alex L. Lacanilao Jr.]

A new user will be added to both Jira and Confluence using Jira API and working perfectly. I would like to add a user with specific access only to Jira or Confluence using Jira API and I think to do this is by removing a user to a group using either Jira or Confluence API.

Upon testing, when I remove a user to a group for example to Jira or Confluence only, It removes the user to both Jira and Confluence and the user has been deleted to users.  Does the API command not properly working upon removing the user to a group? can anyone help me with this?

Hi @Alex L. Lacanilao Jr. 

Removing a user from group API doesn't remove the user from both application group. You have to specify which group you want to remove and that specific group is removed from the user. If in your case you get a different result, probably you should share the API specifically that you're using.

Apologies for the late reply, I'm using Jira Cloud and Confluence REST API. For your reference please see the image below.

@Prince N Please see the image above for the REST API I'm using and the user is no longer exists in the users after executing this.

@Prince Nyeche Thank you for your answer. I found out that the URL I'm using is for the user that's why it delete the user and unable to remove in a specific group.
