Create new user in sonar

Question

Is it possible to create a new user in sonar without using the web interface? I need to write a script that inserts the same users for some tools, including sonar.

Answer 1

There are three ways you can do this:

1. Write directly to the database (there is a simple table called users).

2. Use the LDAP plugin, if you specify sonar.authenticator.createUsers: true in sonar.properties, it will create the users in the sonar database automatically the first time they authenticate.

3. Write a java application that depends on the sonar plugin API, you can then use constructor injection to get a Sonar hibernate session and persist the user you want. See Here.

Answer 2

Since SonarQube version 3.6, there is support for user management in webservice API: https://sonarqube.com/web_api/api/users
