Configuring the internal directory
The internal directory stores user and group information in the Jira database.
If needed, you can configure one or more additional user directories. This is useful if you want to grant access to users and groups that are stored in a corporate directory or other directory server.
For details on how to update the internal cache with changes from the external directory, see Synchronizing data from external directories.

Enable Nested Groups |
Enable or disable support for nested groups. When nested groups are enabled, you can define a group as a member of another group. If you are using groups to manage permissions, you can create nested groups to allow inheritance of permissions from one group to its sub-groups. |
