Issue Summary

From Importing data from JSON document, it mentioned that we can set the status of the users when creating the new users (active: true/false).

"users": [ 
	{
        "name" : "abcde-12345-fedcba",
        "groups" : [ "jira-users", "my-custom-group" ],
        "active" : true,
        "email" : "user1@example.com",
        "fullname" : "User 1"
	}
]

However, the users are always get created as active users on User Management even though we set the active status to false. Example:

"users": [ 
	{
        "name" : "abcde-456789-fedcba",
        "active" : false,
        "email" : "user2@example.com",
        "fullname" : "User 2"
	}
]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a JSON file with active and inactive users. Example:

   "users": [ 
   	{"name" : "abcde-12345-fedcba","groups" : [ "jira-users", "my-custom-group" ],"active" : true,"email" : "user1@example.com","fullname" : "User 1"},
    	{"name" : "abcde-456789-fedcba","active" : false,"email" : "user2@example.com","fullname" : "User 2"}
   ]
   

2. Attempt the import to the site using JSON importer
   
3. Set the users to inactive
   

Expected Results

• User 2 is set to inactive in User Management

Actual Results

• User 2 is set to active in User Management
• User 2 received the invitation email to access the site
• If "New users have access to this product" option is enabled, User 2 is added to the default group(s) as well.
  

Workaround

Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
