      Problem Definition

      There are Bitbucket Cloud workspaces linked to https://admin.atlassian.com/, which means that user management for these workspaces is done at https://admin.atlassian.com/.

      At the moment, there is no API endpoint to create / invite an Org user with the Organizations REST API:

      https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/organization/rest/intro/#about

      There is a REST API endpoint in the User Provisioning APIs:

      https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-provisioning/rest/api-group-users/#api-scim-directory-directoryid-users-post

      There is also a REST API endpoint in Jira Cloud's API:

      https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-users/#api-rest-api-3-user-post

      However, not all Bitbucket Cloud customers use User Provisioning or Jira Cloud. And for these customers, there is no way to invite or create a new user via API.

      Starting recently, all new Bitbucket Cloud workspaces are created in https://admin.atlassian.com/ and linked to an organization.

      Suggested Solution

      Provide a REST API endpoint that invites and creates a new Org user.

      Workaround

      For customers using either User Provisioning or Jira Cloud, the workarounds are mentioned in the Problem Definition section of this feature reuqest.

            This is also a significant gap when dealing with External User accounts particularly in Confluence as unless you want Atlassian branded emails going out to the invitee (which we don't) and you want invited users automatically added to the default confluence user group (which we also don't want), you really have no options to programmatically create an External User in your Atlassian Organization.

            I really wouldn't think this would be too hard to implement, since the underlying functionality is already present in the UI...
