Hi i am new here.

I want to create user with the information inside email body with a email handler,  scriptrunner has the option if the user is the sender, but in my case is not the sender the user-data to create is in the body.

Hey @Manuel Bastardo Castellano 

If you give me an example on how the use data will appear in the email body, I think I can give you an example script.

If the body of the email is 

Username: ABCDE
Full Name: Jhon Doe
Email: mail
userGroup: Group_Name

then the script in your email handler will looks something like 

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.mail.MailUtils

def body = MailUtils.getBody(message)

def tokenized = body.split("\n")
def username = tokenized[0].split("Username: ")[1]
def fullName = tokenized[1].split("Full Name: ")[1]
def email = tokenized[2].split("Email: ")[1]
def userGroup = tokenized[3].split("userGroup: ")[1]

// you will need a 'bot' with permissions to create new users
def botUser = ComponentAccessor.userManager.getUserByKey("bot")

// add a password for the new user
def password = "password"
def newCreateRequest = UserService.CreateUserRequest.withUserDetails(botUser, username, password, email, fullName).sendNotification(true)
def createValidationResult = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserService).validateCreateUser(newCreateRequest)

assert createValidationResult.isValid() : createValidationResult.errorCollection

This snippet is to just give you an idea. You will need to have some checks, for example if there is body, if the tokenized is not empty, etc ... 

You could also use some regex magic to extract the information you want.

Hi @Manuel Bastardo Castellano 

Only option what I see is get this information from issue description and then create user using script runner.
