  • Method Details

    • validateCreateUser

      Validate that a new user can be created. The validation instructions are specified in the UserService.CreateUserRequest.

      Typical validations are:

      • Validate that specified (or default) application(s) has a seat available for the new user and that the default group(s) has been configured.
      • Validate that the specified logged in user is allowed to create a new user.
      • Validate that the specified or default user directory exists and is writable.
      • Validate that password conforms to password policy.
      • Validate that confirm password matches password (optional).
      • Validate that the new username is not currently in use.

      createUser(CreateUserValidationResult) should only be called when the validationResult.isValid().

      Usage example:

       final CreateUserRequest createUserRequest = CreateUserRequest.withUserDetails(currentApplicationUser,
                     username, password, email, displayName)
       result = userService.validateCreateUser(createUserRequest);
       if(result.isValid())
       {
          userService.createUser(createUserRequest);
       }
       
       
      This request indicates that the user should be created in the default user directory with access to the default applications.

      Parameters:
      createUserRequest - user creation request containing new user details and validation instructions.
      Returns:
      the result that would contain error messages when validation was not successful.
    • createUser

      Create a new application user if the provided ServiceResultImpl.isValid(). This is typically called after performing validateCreateUser(CreateUserRequest) and verifying that the ServiceResultImpl.isValid(). If the request is not valid or validateCreateUser(CreateUserRequest) was not called prior to this method an IllegalStateException would get thrown.
      Parameters:
      createUserValidationResult - create user validation result returned from validateCreateUser(CreateUserRequest), this contains the user details and instructions used to create new user.
      Returns:
      an application user representing the newly created user.
      Throws:
      PermissionException - when the logged in user does not have permissions to perform user creation or when the user directory is read-only.
      CreateException - if the user could not be created for any reason, eg username already exists

            Validates associating a user with an application. This method checks there is an application specified by the application key. It also checks if there are any default groups assigned to that application. It validates if there are any spaces in the application license as well. This also validates if the directory where the user lives is not fully read-only.
            Parameters:
            user - the user to be associated with the application
            applicationKey - the key of the application

            UserService.AddUserToApplicationValidationResult validateAddUserToApplication(ApplicationUser loggedInUser, ApplicationUser user, com.atlassian.application.api.ApplicationKey applicationKey)
            Validates associating a user with an application. This method checks if the logged in user has the permission to add user to application. It then checks if there is an application specified by the application key. It also checks if there are any default groups assigned to that application.

            Parameters:
            loggedInUser - The logged in user
            user - the user to be associated with the application

          • addUserToApplication

            Given a valid validation result, this will associate a user with an application by adding that user to all the default groups assigned to that application (regardless of the license).

            If the user is already associated with the application but is not the member of all the default groups, that user will be added to the default groups which that user does not belong to yet.

            If any of the default groups assigned to this application are also assigned to other application(s), the user will also be associated with those applications as well.

            This method is not the exact opposite to removeUserFromApplication(com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService.RemoveUserFromApplicationValidationResult). While this method only adds user to the default groups assigned to an application, removeUserFromApplication method removes user from all the group assigned to an application.

            Parameters:
            result - the validation result
            Throws:
            AddException - the underlying directory implementation failed to add user to group
            PermissionException - the underlying directory has been configured to not allow user to be added to group, or the directory/group is read-only

            Parameters:
            loggedInUser - application user performing the application access removal
            user - the user to be disassociated with the application
            applicationKey - the key of the application
            Returns:
            a validation result containing appropriate errors or the details used to disassociate a user from an application

            7.0
          • removeUserFromApplication

            Given a valid validation result, this will disassociate a user from an application by removing that user from all the groups assigned to that application. This also validates if the directory where the user lives is not fully read-only.

            If the group set assigned to this application is a superset of the group set assigned to other application(s), the user will also be disassociated with those applications as well.

            This method is not the exact opposite to addUserToApplication(com.atlassian.jira.bc.user.UserService.AddUserToApplicationValidationResult). While this method removes user from all the group assigned to an application, addUserToApplication method only adds user to the default groups assigned to an application

            Parameters:
            result - The validation result
