Disable Jira "Login details" / "User statistics"

Bernd Anderer

I was wondering if there is a way to disable the "Login details" that an administrator can see in the user list, and the "User statistics" shown in the user details view?

I know this does not make a lot of sense but I have been asked - I can not find a way of doing this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

I understand that you are looking for a way to disable Jira User Management from tracking the login details such as last login time and login count.  Jira does not have a setting at this time to disable the collection of this data.  I also have not yet found any such feature request for this functionality just yet in the JRASERVER project.

However it is possible to clear this data from the database directly.   I should note that this direct SQL changes are not officially supported by Atlassian, and that you should create a backup of your database before you make such changes.  But that said, it could be possible for a SQL admin to remove this data from the database itself.  In my testing I found that running the following statements can remove this data from a Jira Database:

delete from cwd_user_attributes where attribute_name = 'login.lastLoginMillis';
delete from cwd_user_attributes where attribute_name = 'login.count';

However this just removes the current data your Jira database has about these login details.  As soon as that user logs in again to Jira, that data will be updated again.

I hope this helps.
