Plugin that performs Issue operations automatically

[Georgios Kotsios-Kontokotsios]

Hi all,

I want to create a plugin which will execute in the background on an interval. The plugin should perform some issue operations if a condition is met. Is this possible to do without a user being logged in?

Maybe it could also be possible to use a certain user for the plugin. The problem is I don't know how to get the User instance and use it.

Thanks in advance

Yes, it is possible , you need the login name as a string

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/user/util/UserManager.html#getUserByName%28java.lang.String%29

have a look a the developper tutorial about how to get Component dependancies resolved with ioc or componentManager , there valuable tutorail for your issue at hand ( how to schedule a plugin task )

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/ComponentManager.html
