NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
Currently the Configuring JIRA Options page lists the following for External User Management:
When turned ON, you will no longer be able to create, edit or delete users/groups from within JIRA (or via email or import); but you can still assign users/groups to project roles, and create/edit/delete user properties. Additionally, JIRA will not display options for users to change their password, or edit their profile.
Generally you would only turn this ON if you are managing all your users from outside JIRA (e.g. using Crowd, Microsoft Active Directory or another LDAP directory).
Default: OFF
However through the GUI we can see that this has changed (when editing those settings):
Indicates that you are using user management from outside JIRA. JIRA will not display options for users to change their password, or edit their profile.
Note: With the 'authentication only' LDAP provider, this should be left off, as accounts are stored locally.
As of JRA-27280 this functionality has changed, as from this comment.
Can you please update the following pages to reflect this:
