how to bulk update usernames in confluence using The XML-RPC and SOAP APIs ?

Bipin Nepal September 27, 2022

Since i found out there is not Rest API for updating user information in confluence.
I came to know there is a deprecated method to do so and in the documentation it says this method is available

boolean setUserInformation(String token, UserInformation userInfo) - updates user information


but the problem is I dont even know how do I run this, I used to run rest api's using shell but this looks different,

Can anyone help me create the script  so that i can bulk change  the usernames of the users using the csv.


My end goal here is to make username the same as their email address.

Thanks,

BIpin

The SOAP API is totally deprecated and even though there are still calls you can make, in later versions they won't work at all.  The call you've found is, I think, on the list of calls that will respond ok but not actually do anything.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-  is there any way to update usernames in bulk without using paid plugins ?


Are there any possible suggestions/solutions that you can give ?
