CLONE - Alternate to "delete user" -- leave user in Jira but actually disable

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      People leave. They get fired. They die.

      But through all that they are still in Jira. We change their password to a random one, and edit the email address. But this still clutters up our lists of assignable users, and occasionally results in a dearly departed getting assigned an issue. Jira prevents us from deleting them:

      This user cannot be deleted at this time because there are issues assigned to them, they have reported issues, or they are currently the lead of a project.
      Please note that any components with this user set as the lead will have the component lead set to empty when the user is deleted.

      I am aware that we can bulk assign the reporter to someone else... but then we loose valuable at a glance history. What we'd like is to really disable the users, without deleting them.

      There are many dupes of this report, most closed as "won't fix".

            Hi Bryan!

            I´m trying to create a plugin which uses Axis2 libs, but JIRA uses Axis1
            libs... How can I include Axis2 libs inside my plugin? I cannot find any
            documentation about this subject anywhere in the wiki or the web. Thanks!!

            Jonatan,

            I'm closing this issue since you and I have discussed a way to implement this in JIRA. To document the solution, just remove the users from the jira-users group, and they will no longer appear in the assignee dropdowns, nor will they count against licenses, but the historical information will be preserved.
