Hi everyone 👋
I recently ran into a problem while managing our employees/users across several Jira spaces in my company.
We have around 150+ users in our instance, and it became surprisingly difficult to answer simple questions like:
- Who is working on what?
- Which users have access to which projects?
- How active is that user in that project?
- What is that user's workload in that project?
Jira is great, but I found that getting a clear, centralized view of users, roles, and activity across projects wasn’t straightforward. For example, before, I had to open each project and check which users were assigned to it.
So I decided to build a small Forge app to solve this for our internal needs: User manager for Jira (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/2258788102/user-manager-for-jira)
It gives a single dashboard where you can:
- See all users and their project involvement
- Understand workload, roles and permissions quickly
- Monitor activity and identify unused or misconfigured access
It started as an internal tool, but I’m now exploring publishing it on the Jira Marketplace.
Curious to hear:
👉 Is this something others have struggled with as well?
👉 How are you currently managing user visibility at scale?
Happy to share more details if anyone’s interested!
🙏 Thank you!
