Can you restrict access to the User Management screen?

[Sarah Price]

We are setting up an accounts team to create and assign accounts for JIRA. I'd like to be able to set up a permission group that only allows them access to the User Management screen without allow access to all of the Systems Admin screens.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

That is not possible. The best you can do is allow users to manage already created users in the individual projects.

Or, set up a custom endpoint for them to do this without being global Jira administrators. But that's either in the form of REST API (quick to do, bad to use with non-technical users), or a fully fledged custom servlet which would "impersonate" user management. Since it's custom, you can then make it use internal API to do operations with users, so the users do not have global admins, but they can manage users through this sort of a proxy service/page. Plus you can restrict that page to e.g. specific users/groups to ensure other regular users aren't able to use it.

As Tim says though, without doing something crafty, it's a no go, once you make them admins, they get the full powers.
