Update user using REST API

[Selvaraj]

Hi,

Is there any support for update user details using REST API .

[Alex Palermo]

Guys, I use cloud jira. It is only possible to use this change via rest api, when you register your domain within the jira cloud with your DNS server at the company.

Hi @Alex Palermo 

Were you able to edit agents details through API cloud? I'd like to know how to do it if you were able to.

Thanks

Hello,

Kindly have a look at PUT /rest/api/2/user:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.10.2/?_ga=2.65786086.919346823.1530852149-65270402.1526147845#api/2/user-updateUser

I had tried it but it shows 405 error

[Alexey Matveev]

Could you provide the json you are sending.

[Alexey Matveev]

error 405 means that you are trying to execute the wrong method. make sure you send a PUT request, not GET or POST.

I had sent PUT request but it is not working, it shows 405 error.

[Alexey Matveev]

How do you send the PUT request?

[Selvaraj]

I send the PUT request using postman

[Alexey Matveev]

Could you provide the request here?

[Selvaraj]

I have tried to PUT to https://{host}/rest/api/2/user?username=xyzzy 

Request

\{
"name": "xyxxx",
"emailAddress":"xyxx@example.com",
"displayName": "displayname"
} ,

What is your Jira version?

[Selvaraj]

I'm using this version JIRA 1001.0.0-SNAPSHOT Credits

Ah, you are on Cloud. I could not find PUT method for Cloud. I guess, you can not do it on Cloud
