Settings > Jira Settings

[Mark Jennings]

I am not responsible for Jira across the business but for my team only, our domain has been verified for DNS records but accounts not yet claimed.

What I wish to know is if I start changing things in the highlighted section, does it affect the whole platform or those accounts/projects related direct to my team?

Our address is <team>.atlassian.net but the rest of the business will be using a different string.

Many thanks

The "Jira Settings" section is specific to this site, i.e. to <team>.atlassian.net.

If some other team in your organization has a separate site <someotherteam>.atlassian.net, then that's a separate Jira with its own settings.

Great stuff, thank you.

I assume if I claim accounts then I become overarching owner of ALL <team>.atlassisan sites?

Atlassian uses the notions of "organization" and "site". One organization can have multiple sites. 

See: https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/add-a-new-product-to-your-organization/

I guess if you set up your organization and sites correctly, then you can administer multiple sites, yes.
