How to do it…
To use the Atlassian CLI tool, we first need to enable the Remote API from JIRA:
1. Navigate to Administration | System | General Configuration .
2. Click on the Edit Settings button.
3. Turn on the Accept Remote API call settings.
4. Click on Update to apply the change.
You then need to install the Atlassian CLI tool by unzipping it to a convenient location on
your workstation. Next, update the jira.sh (for UNIX) or jira.bat (for Windows)
file to add in JIRA's details.
For example, as shown in the following command, JIRA is running on ht-
tp://localhost:8080 , and the administrator credential is admin_user with ad-
min_password as the password:
java -jar 'dirname $0'/lib/jira-cli-3.8.0.jar --server
http://localhost:8080 --user admin_user --password
admin_password "$@"
So now that we have everything set up, we can run the following command to create a new
user in JIRA:
./jira.sh --action addUser --userId tester --userEmail
[e-mail] --userFullName Tester
You should get a response as shown in the following code:
User: tester added with password: 89u66p3mik5q. Full name
is: Tester. Email is: [e-mail].
