Review Incorrect License Count for Jira Service Management Cloud Agents

Platform Notice: Cloud - This article applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.

Summary

The count of Jira Service Management licenses is higher than the number of users on the jira-servicedesk-users group.

Checking the product access

Please note that you must be logged in as a user with site-admin access to perforthe following steps.

The first step is to check which groups have the Jira Service Management agent access permission.

User Management Experience

  1. In Jira's left panel, click on Jira settings > User management
  2. On the Admin panel, click on Product access.
  3. The groups with agent access are listed below Jira Service Management

Any user that is provided with a Service Management application access will be added to the default access group.

Another configuration to keep a watch is users added to the Trusted Role:

User access and roles settings. The user has access to the site but has never used Jira Service Desk, Jira Software, or Confluence. A Resend invite button is available. Under the Roles section, the user has the Trusted role, which allows updating product settings, adding new products, and inviting basic users.

This role will, automatically, assign all the application accesses to the user.

Improved User Management Experience

  1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.

  2. Select Products from the header.

  3. You will see the user count listed beside the product.

  4. Clicking on Manage Users will take you to the licensed users list.
  5. Clicking on Manage Product Access will take you to the groups that have product access.

In the Improved Experience, the Trusted role doesn't exist anymore.

Remove groups from product access

Now that you have identified which groups grant users with Jira Service Management agent access and users in the Trusted Role, you can go ahead and remove those that should not provide licenses.

For Users in the groups:

  1. Select the group that you want to remove and click on ••• > Remove group.
  2. Check if the license count matches the number of users on jira-servicedesk-users group.

For users in the Trusted Role:

  1. Access the user's profile and change their Role to Basic.
  2. Now toggle off the application access of Jira Service Management.

 The invoice will depend on how many agents you have on your instance, it means people with the product enabled on their profile and not the Service Management agent permission in the project.
