Dummy users for training site purposes

Hi all,

Is it possible to create dummy users for training site projects to simulate real life situations like assigning to different persons, making boards and swimlines, making teams etc.?

Hi, @Jarmo 

Yes, it is possible to create dummy users for training site projects in Jira Cloud to simulate real-life situations. Jira Cloud provides the functionality to add and manage users within a project.

To create dummy users, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Jira Cloud instance with administrative privileges.
2. Navigate to the "Jira Settings" by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner and selecting "System" from the dropdown menu.
3. In the left-hand sidebar, under the "User management" section, click on "Users."
4. Click on the "Create Users" button.
5. Enter the desired details for the dummy user, such as username, full name, and email address. You can use placeholder or fictional information for these fields.
6. Optionally, you can assign the user to specific groups or project roles to simulate different access levels or permissions.
7. Repeat the above steps to create as many dummy users as needed.

Once you have created the dummy users, you can utilize them in your training site projects by assigning issues to different users, creating boards and swimlanes with specific user filters, and forming teams with the dummy users as members. This will allow you to simulate various scenarios and test how your project behaves in real-life situations.

Note that dummy users do not receive actual notifications or emails from Jira Cloud, so you can safely use fictional email addresses without affecting any real users.
