      Hi, I use jira to manage issues or questions towards several companies (splitted into different sequrity levels). For each company there is several jira-users. som user are "tecnical experts" other works with the business or are more "functional experts".

      I see it as a nice feature to be able to add a custom short description of every user when they are created and edited.
      in the permission schema it should be possible to set who has access to read/add/change this description.

      When holding the mouse over a username, a lable could then pop up over the mouse containing the description (using the title attribute in HTML).

      In my case, this would resulted in better controll of all the users I am contacting every day in Jira. Somtimes I will report to tecnincal resources in a company, other times to funtional workers.

      By the way, thanks for an excelent product

            Hi,

            This is a bulk update to specific issues in the JIRA (JRA) project

            As part of an effort to ensure we are transparent about the JIRA issues on jira.atlassian.com, we have decided to resolve those that have been open for multiple years with minimal activity and with a low number of votes. In light of the fact that JIRA is rapidly changing and that this issue may not be a valid request any longer, we will be resolving it today.

            Votes are not the only metric that we use to determine the requests that are implemented, however they do factor in to our decision making process. We have decided that the combination of this issue being open for a long period of time, and it's low number of votes means that we are unlikely to implement it. If you would like thoughts on how we use jira.atlassian.com, please see: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/110373/how-does-the-jira-team-use-jira-atlassian-com

            If you have believe this issue is still relevant, please comment on the issue and we will respond. We are watching all these issues that we bulk close.

            Best regards
            Roy Krishna and Josh Devenny

            Rune,

            There is already some work going on in this area, this type of functionality is being added to confluence and we are looking at ways to bring the functionality to JIRA as well.
