How to add bulk users to a group in Confluence using Run CLI Actions in Confluence app

This article helps you to add users to a group in bulk using the app, Run CLI Actions in Confluence.

Instructions

1. Use the action addUserToGroup with runFromCsv to add users to a group in bulk. 
2. Prepare a  CSV file (all-users.csv) that contains userId, Username, group name . An example file is shown below: 
   
   
3. Create a folder with page id (7962625) under the <confluence-home-dir>/script/cli/ directory.
   
   
   
4. Copy the .csv file (ex: all-users.csv) to the following location <confluence-home-dir>script/cli/7962625

5. Run the command below to add users that are provided in the .csv file (all-users.csv, in this example) to a group:
   

   --action runFromCsv --file "all-users.csv" --common "--action addUserToGroup --autoGroup" --continue

   

   The parameters used in the above action are:

   • file: Name (or path) of the file specified in the command.

   • common: Common parameter string added to all run actions.
   • autoGroup: Groups are automatically added when referenced in add user functions.

   • continue: This parameter can be added, if the user does not exist, and you want the action to continue.
