Group Functionality in Jira Cloud

Deleted user August 3, 2023

A fellow employee in my company would like to add entire groups of people as stakeholders in Jira Cloud issues to maximize efficiency. Is this at all possible?

Hi @[deleted] , welcome to the community and thanks for your question.

It depends a little on what you want to achieve.

My suggestion would be to add the stakeholders as watchers of the issues, which basically is like adding them as followers. Then, you can have them in the notification scheme so they can follow the progress of the issue.

If, instead, these are people that just need to be associated with the issue but aren't necessarily interested in the progress, you can create a custom field of user picker and then add people to the issues that way. 

As far as I know, there isn't the possibility, out of the box, to add groups in either of these ways. 

I hope this helps but if you have more questions or want to clarify anything, please just write us back here.

Cheers

Hi Valerie,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Does this apply for sharing Confluence pages also?


All the best

Hi @[deleted] , you can also have watchers also in Confluence, but not custom fields. 

Cheers
