  4. By default, JIRA will not prompt users to confirm logging out by default. To change this, click the 'Edit Configuration' button at the end of the page.
    The 'Logout Confirmation' field will now be editable. The Never and Always settings are self-explanatory. When set to Cookie, your JIRA users will only be prompted if they have logged in using a cookie (i.e. by selecting the 'Remember my login on this computer' check box before they click the 'Log In' button).
