Employees in Jira

[Michelle Kirk]

Hi

We are currently building Jira SM and the Asset management function, do we need to create a Object Schema for Employees, that will then allow us to align an asset to that user ? 

We will be doing an import once all the data is correct out of our old ITSM platform, but trying to understand how users are handled

You have two options to assign an asset to your employees. Will all employees have a license in your Atlassian instance (could be for any Atlassian app, as long as they are managed)? If so then you can use the user attribute and associate an asset that way. If only a subset of your employees will have a license then you would have to create an object schema and import all your employees to it.
