How is the "Total users"-count calculated?

The Atlassian administration page (Directory -> Users) counts:
- "Active users", which are ACTIVE and INVITED users, as I understand and
- "Total users", which is over 40 users higher than our active user count.

What else goes into this number?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Marinus Langer welcome to the Atlassian Community Forums!

Total users is the number of unique Atlassian accounts that currently have access to at least one app/product on your site.

Not included:

  • Exists in the directory but has no app/product access
  • Has been deactivated
  • Is deleted
  • Is external collaborator without product access
  • Is invited but not yet added to a product

Total users includes all apps/products, not just Jira (f.e. only Confluence access)
