XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      The message says that user is not active, which is not quite true, as it doesn't exists.

      How to reproduce:

      • go to administer project page -> roles
      • try to add nonexistent user to project role (for example Administartors)
      • error dialog will appear:

            This hasn't turned out to cause confusion, so I'm marking it as Won't Fix.

            I've set this back to minor as the right things are happening - it can just be a little confusing. We are yet to see if this is a problem in practice - if it turns out to be we can schedule it then.
