Below are some of the Jira API Shell scripts that I wrote that may be helpful

The script below can be used to add a user to Jira and then add them to a group.

#!/bin/bash
######Define Variables ######
USERNAME="bobo"
PASSWORD="D3F4U1Ti"
EMAIL="mybobo@myjirainstance.com"
FULLNAME="Bobo The Great Bobo"
 
######This function is used to setup JSON for the variables defined above to create a new user######
create_user(){
cat << EOF
{
    "name": "$USERNAME",
    "password": "$PASSWORD",
    "emailAddress": "$EMAIL",
    "displayName": "$FULLNAME",
    "applicationKeys": [
        "jira-core"
    ]
}
EOF
}
 
######This function is used to setup JSON for adding user to a group######
generate_user_name(){
cat << EOF
{
   "name":"$USERNAME"
}
EOF
}
 
######This is the main curl calls using Jira API's######
curl -D- -u adminuser:adminPassword -X POST --data "$(create_user)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://FQDNURL/jira/rest/api/2/user
 
curl -D- -u adminuser:adminPassword -X POST --data "$(generate_user_name)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://FQDNURL/jira/rest/api/2/group/user?groupname=users
