As the official API does not have this function (currently), we can accomplish it via Adaptavist Scriptrunner.
Add a REST endpoint and use the code:
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.rest.common.CustomEndpointDelegate
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.issuetype.IssueType
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.CrowdService
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.UserWithAttributes
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.ImmutableUser
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUsers
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserUtil
@BaseScript CustomEndpointDelegate delegate
deactivateuser(httpMethod: "GET", groups: ["jira-administrators"]) { MultivaluedMap queryParams ->
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
String userName = queryParams.getFirst("username") as String
def builder = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder()
UserUtil userUtil = ComponentAccessor.userUtil
CrowdService crowdService = ComponentAccessor.crowdService
UserService userService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService)
ApplicationUser updateUser
UserService.UpdateUserValidationResult updateUserValidationResult
// Get user
UserWithAttributes user = crowdService.getUserWithAttributes(userName)
if (user)
{
updateUser = ApplicationUsers.from(ImmutableUser.newUser(user).active(false).toUser())
updateUserValidationResult = userService.validateUpdateUser(updateUser)
if (updateUserValidationResult.isValid())
{
userService.updateUser(updateUserValidationResult)
builder { result "User Deactivated"}
return Response.status(201).entity(builder.toString()).build()
}
else
{
builder { result "Update of ${user.name} failed: ${updateUserValidationResult.getErrorCollection().getErrors().entrySet().join(',')}"}
return Response.status(400).entity(builder.toString()).build()
}
}
else
{
//No such username
builder { result "User did not exist"}
return Response.status(400).entity(builder.toString()).build()
}
}
Testing is like:
curl -v -u username:password -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X "GET" https://servicedesk.server.dk/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/deactivateuser?username=bnp@mos-eisley.dk
If successfull, the return is a 200 OK:
{"result":"User Deactivated"}
