Description
The documentation for Managing Global permissions has the following description for JIRA Administrator permissions:
Permission to perform most JIRA administration functions (see list of exclusions below).
(warning) This does not include the JIRA Users permission. A user with JIRA Administrators will be able to log in to JIRA without the JIRA Users permission, but may not be able to perform all regular user functions (e.g. edit their profile) unless they also belong to a group that has the JIRA Users permission.
And the following description for JIRA Users permission
Permission to log in to JIRA.
(warning) The number of users that count towards your JIRA license is the sum of all users (including users in groups) that have this permission.
(info) Granting the JIRA Users permission to a group results in all newly created users being automatically added to that group. The exception to this are groups that also have the JIRA Administrators permissions, since JIRA prevents groups with these administrative-level global permissions from being granted the JIRA Users permission. Furthermore, it would be unwise to automatically grant these administrative-level global permissions to all new users.
These two descriptions combined can make one believe that users belonging only to groups with JIRA Administrator permissions will not count towards the license, which is not the case.
