getActiveUserCount

int getActiveUserCount()
Returns the number of users that are currently 'active'. For a user to be active, means that it must belong to a group that has either the JIRA-users, JIRA-administrators or JIRA-Systemadministartors global permission. Implementations of this method should take performance into consideration, and ensure that the value is cached. Use clearActiveUserCount() to clear the cache.

Please note that the calculation will be run if the license does not specify a user limit.

Returns:
the active user count
Since:
v3.13
See Also:
Permissions

clearActiveUserCount

void clearActiveUserCount()
Clears the cache of the active user count so that it can be recalculated. This method should be used when performing operations that will modify the number of active users in the system.

Since:
v3.13

hasExceededUserLimit

boolean hasExceededUserLimit()
Returns true if this JIRA instance has more active users, than allowed by the license. If the license does not require a user limit, this method will return false immediately.

Returns:
True if the number of active users is greater than the limit enforced by the license. False otherwise.
Since:
v3.13

canActivateNumberOfUsers

boolean canActivateNumberOfUsers(int numUsers)
Returns true if, after adding the specified number of users, the number of active users in JIRA does not exceed the user limit allowed by the license. If the license does not require a user limit, this method will return true immediately.

Parameters:
numUsers - the number of users to add to the JIRA instance. If 0, all things being equal, this method will return true. Must not be negative!
Returns:
False if the number of active users + the number of users to add is greater than the limit enforced by the license. True otherwise.
Since:
v3.13

canActivateUsers

boolean canActivateUsers(Collection<String> userNames)
Returns true if, after adding the specified users, the number of active users in JIRA does not exceed the user limit allowed by the license. If a user specified is already active, or cannot be found, they are not counted towards the user limit. If the limit has already been exceeded, but none of the users specified are inactive, the result will still be true, as these users are already active and thus nothing changes. If the license does not require a user limit, this method will return true immediately.

Parameters:
userNames - the names of the users to add to the JIRA instance. Must not be null!
Returns:
False if the number of active users + the number of users to add is greater than the limit enforced by the license. True otherwise.
