How to get Bamboo users and groups when connecting to Jira/Crowd
Purpose
Sometimes we need to get details from users and groups programmatically when Bamboo is connected to Jira/Crowd.
This information is not available in Bamboo database but we can get this directly from Jira/Crowd using the same requests Bamboo does.
Solution
These are the requests done by Bamboo to get users, membership and groups:
Get users
curl -H "Accept: application/xml" \
-H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-d '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><null-search-restriction/>' \
-X POST '<JIRA_OR_CROWD_URL>/rest/usermanagement/1/search?entity-type=user&start-index=0&max-results=-1&expand=user' \
--user <APPLICATION>:<PASSWORD>Get groups
curl -H "Accept: application/xml" \
-H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-d '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><null-search-restriction/>' \
-X POST '<JIRA_OR_CROWD_URL>/rest/usermanagement/1/search?entity-type=group&start-index=0&max-results=-1&expand=group' \
--user <APPLICATION>:<PASSWORD>Get membership
curl -H "Accept: application/xml" \
-X GET '<JIRA_OR_CROWD_URL>/rest/usermanagement/1/group/membership' \
--user <APPLICATION>:<PASSWORD>- Get events
curl -H "Accept: application/xml" \
-X GET '<JIRA_OR_CROWD_URL>/rest/usermanagement/1/event' \
--user <APPLICATION>:<PASSWORD>
Please make sure you change the <JIRA_OR_CROWD_URL> to your JIRA or Crowd url, also <APPLICATION> and <PASSWORD>. You should use the same credentials used by Bamboo to get the same results.
