I have a need to lock out access for an amount of time

I need to lock users out of the system for a weekend while some work is carried out, and data is pulled through a connector. I cannot see a simple way to lock users out. The only ways I can think of is to update all Projects with a "Locked down" Permissions scheme so users cannot create/edit anything. Or go through User Management and turn off product access individually, but for nearly 600 users thats just too much time.

Has anyone else had this situation before? Other products I've worked on have had a simple button to click in the Admin side to lock the system down and log everyone out.

Hi @Terry Dance

Setting a permission scheme with only browse permissions on all project is indeed the only solution in Jira Cloud.
