How to remove a user from a project role for multiple projects using the app, Run CLI Actions in Jira

This article explains how to remove a user as a Project Admin for multiple projects using the app, Run CLI Actions in Jira, on a datacenter instance.

Instructions

For this scenario, use the runFromCsv and removeProjectRoleActors actions where: 

• removeProjectRoleActors: Remove users or groups from a project role.

• runFromCsv: Run actions generated from a CSV file.
  

  Ensure that the project role(s) and userId(s) exist at the global level. 

1. Consider the following example which shows a project key, TC, and has a role defined as jira-administrators:
   
   
2. Create a csv file(ex: projects.csv) with the below parameters:
   
3. Place the projects.csv under the relevant folder, that is /var/atlassian/application-data/home/cli-plugin. This location is based on your Jira instance.

4. Navigate to Admin > Manage Apps > Run Actions to execute the following CLI action:
   

   --action run --server http://example.test.stage --password xxxxxxx --user xxxxxxx
   
   --action runFromCsv --file "remove.csv" --common "--action removeProjectRoleActors"
   

   

5. Click on Run and below is the required output:
   

   Run: --action runFromCsv --file "remove.csv" --common "--action removeProjectRoleActors"
   
   Run: --project "JIRA" --role "jira-administrators" --userId "Amulya" --category "standard" --action removeProjectRoleActors
   'jira-administrators' role updated for project JIRA
   
   Run: --project "QA" --role "jira-administrators" --userId "Amulya" --category "standard" --action removeProjectRoleActors
   'jira-administrators' role updated for project QA
   
   Run: --project "BUMP" --role "jira-administrators" --userId "Amulya" --action removeProjectRoleActors
   'jira-administrators' role updated for project BUMP
   
   Run: --project "TC" --role "jira-administrators" --userId "Amulya" --action removeProjectRoleActors
