Hi Pramodh,

thanks for the response.

We tried to do it.

I logged into the system under recovery_admin but all this recovery_admin could do was just disable the Jira Internal Directory. This disabled all users.

Recovery_admin does not have the ability to edit users, groups, reset their passwords.
