AccountCreator Tool

Description/Features

This program allows a convenient way to browse the users and groups on Confluence and Jira servers, using a single program. It was constructed primarily to allow me to add a huge number of users easily, without having to specify the passwords and have the emails sent automatically.
It is intented to demonstrate how the Jira SOAP api is so limited for us - read the source code to see why we must use the database.

Usage

1. Run the program.
2. Complete the configuration options.
3. Save the configuration (if wanted). The files are saved in an xml format, but all passwords are in plain text!
4. Update the tree, perform a bulk load, etc.

Examples

The attachments show images of sample screens, so it's pretty easy to work out how to use it, but I will show you how to use the bulk load:

The bulk load expects a text file in the following format:
username <space> email_address <space> groups,separated,by,commas full name

The comma separated groups must not contain spaces, or it will be interpreted as part of the full name.
The user is always added to the confluence or jira default group.
If you don't want to add the user to any other groups, specify <NONE> without additional spaces, in capitals.

For example:

Username: TestUser1234
Email: arafangion@fussycoder.id.au
groups: one,two,three,four
Full name: Test User 1234

becomes like this in the bulk load file:
TestUser1234 arafangion@fussycoder.id.au one,two,three,four Test User 1234

Open Issues

Currently if one right-clicks on the group in the user details pane, the right-click action does NOT select the group, resulting in often-unintentional deletion of the wrong user. I classify this as a bug in the control.

Main Screen	Jira Settings. Much more complicated because the Jira SOAP api is very limited compared to the Confluence API. As I wasn't sure if Jira sends the email for us, I have added a checkmark there.	The Email settings. Quite self explainitory. It would be good if the soap api could send the emails itself, rather than requiring more settings here, but oh well.
Confluence Settings. The program is configured to automatically email the user when the account is created.	You can bulk load users and their corresponding groups and apply them to Confluence, Jira, or both	You can right-click on the groups to remove the user from the selected group - Alas, the control has a bug in which right-clicking does not select the group, so you could delete the wrong group if you're not careful!
