Documentation for JIRA 5.2. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

You may define multiple user directories in JIRA, so that JIRA looks in more than one place for its users and groups. For example, you may use the default JIRA internal directory and also connect to an LDAP directory server. In such cases, you can define the directory order to determine where JIRA looks first when processing users and groups.

Here is a summary of how the directory order affects the processing:
  • The order of the directories is the order in which they will be searched for users and groups.
  • Changes to users and groups will be made only in the first directory where the application has permission to make changes.

See Managing Multiple Directories.

  • No labels
