Create User using Python-Jira

Question

Looking into different methods to create users remotely. Does anyone have an example of this working, or know why this chunk of code isnt working?

import jira.client
from jira.client import JIRA

print('starting script')

options = {'server' : 'http://<server>.atlassian.net'}
jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=('<username>', '<password>'))
jira.add_user('testUser1', '<emailaddress>', '12345', 'testUser1', False, True, False)

print('ending script')

Whenever I run this, I get a brick of error code that ends with "response text = {"errorMessages":["Either the 'username' or the 'key' query parameters need to be provided"],"errors":{}}"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

When setting options, I used http instead of https. This fixed my problem
