Turning JSM customers into Jira users

Question

Some of our JSM Agents are inviting customers into their projects via the "Add customers" feature in the Agent view.

This sends an email invitation to the customers and then they can create tickets through the portal.

However this doesn't seem to create an account in our Site (we cannot find them in admin.atlassian.com).

This creates an issue when we then want to invite some of these customers to become Jira users to interact with other projects. The "Invite users" feature in the Site admin section seems to send another invitation and create another new account for the user.

What is the best way to deal with this.

In the administration section (user management), there is a section called Jira Service Management. Click on the user that has now become a Jira user, and use the "migrate to  Atlassian account" button.
