Set up your software team
 | Everyone who is going to use JIRA Software needs to be set up as a user. Depending on the size and structure of your teams, you may want to create administrators to handle the user management, or do all of the setup yourself. Here's the basics. |
Create users
- Select
> User Management. - Enter the Full name and Email address of the people you want to invite.
- Click Create users. An invitation will be sent to each person, asking them to set a password.
There's a few other ways to create users, too, such as through a mail handler. See Creating, editing, and deleting users.
Enable another user to create users
If you want another user to handle the user administration, they need to belong to the 'site-admins' group.
- Select > User Management.
- Select the person's name you want to give access.
- Select Add group.
- Type 'site-admins' and then select Add group.
Manage user permissions
If you are the administrator for all users, you'll probably want to set different permission levels for different people. One way to control user permissions in JIRA Software is to assign users to groups, and then set the permissions for that group. It sort of looks like this:
Permissions and user management can be complex. It's a good idea to make sure your JIRA Software administrator is familiar with some key concepts before changing things. See Managing groups and Managing global permissions.
