Hi @Marco Munari OverIT -

I'm afraid Jira does not have an Inbuilt functionality to copy users from one group to another. Though there are two feature requests that would allow you to configure it:

- Improve Add Users To Group Functionality 

- Copy all users from a group 

As a workaround, you can create a REST API Script to bulk add your users. These would be the exact steps:

1 - Navigate to your User management > In the Users tab, click in the button "Export Users"

2 - Select the group you want to export the users from and finish the export:

3 - Create a new group in Jira

4 - Create a script using the post command in Jira Cloud REST API to add those users to the new group you created, preferably using a practical text editor that will place that call together with the users you exported:

POST https://yourdomain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/group/user

Hi @Marco Munari OverIT ,

there is an open request for that https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-42264

As workaround you can put in place a script that use rest api to retrieve/add user in a group.
