You can bulk import users by using the following two approaches -

• Jelly Scripts https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Jelly+Tags#JellyTags-jira:CreateUser
• Command Line Interface https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JCLI/JIRA+Command+Line+InterfaceHope

Hope this helps

Hi John,

Importing users from a csv is not possible directly. However, JIRA allows you to connect to external directories like LDAP, Crowd. Crowd allows importing users using csv

Refer to the documentation available at

Can you use the integration of one login to also pull your customer base or do you have to use the LDAP/Active Directory feature?

I have figured this out if your using any SSO app that has AD integrations you can apply them to that single sign on and using the AD membership. Once they have the right membership applied you can then import them by bulk using the membership in AD. Once they are in there it will populate them in your SSO. If you create rules to push them by either the membership you applied or by groups which can be pushed by the SSO in the rule. I used the department membership to push a group mirrored after that department to Jira and now my customers populate in those groups base on the rule. You do have to turn off your default licensing though or your customers will get licensed as users. Hope this helps this was done in the cloud instance with the SSO integration.
