| userEmail (mandatory) | userEmail (mandatory) |

**Updating User Information -** **Confluence CLI **[https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68458245](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68458245) for user management. The plugin provides options to update the user's email, full name, password, and activation status. However, it does <span style="color: #bf2600">NOT</span> provide the option to update the user ID: this is an Atlassian restriction.

**Updating User Information** **-** **Jira CLI** [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCLI/pages/70782827](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCLI/pages/70782827) allows you to update the user's information, including the user ID with the `newUserId` parameter.   


Example of a command that allows a bulk change of user information.

```
--action runFromCsv --file sample.csv --common "-a updateUser" --continue
```

The CSV file should display the current and the target parameter names, as columns, for example, to change `userId` to `newUserId`, as shown in the CSV File table.

Bulk updating user information is done both in  Confluence or Jira. However, the user ID  can only be changed in a Jira instance using Jira CLI or ACLI.
