how to manage user management in Jira

Question

I have 12 pages of users in Jira.  Through evolution and acquisition, there are MANY inactive users that cannot be deleted because their names are on various items in JIRA and Confluence. How on earth do you manage this list?  I can't hide inactive.  I can't sort the columns to see who has never logged in.  I can't export the list to csv so that I can do these things.

I must be missing the secret sauce here.  It can't have the ability to manage thousands of users without some basic list management capabilities. What am I missing?

I did not avoid it, I did however, say why it's bad to delete users because she said it. I eventually answer that you can create a script for it. Finally, I also added that you can submit a suggestion to Atlassian for additional features on user management, like what you are saying here.

You avoided the question completely. A sorting functionality on the user management module has its own benefits and that is not only used to delete users (which isn't a feature anyway).

For user management, I want to sort users by their names or email addresses or last session to see who was given access and not using it.

JIRA licenses are NOT free. I need to know who is using a license and not using the application, so that a license is not getting wasted.

You can always put in a suggestion to Atlassian and let's see what they think about it
