How to track tasks for people who don't use Jira

Mark Berthelemy

Hi there,

I am managing a project that has a mixture of Jira users and non-users associated with it.

I'd like to be able to use JIRA as normal for the Jira users, but I also want to be able to track tasks assigned to the non-users (as I would in MS Project or similar).

Is there any way to have a person in Jira, to whom I can "assign" tasks, but without requiring them to be set up as an active Jira user?

We're using Atlassian Cloud, so can't use plugins that require a server instance.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

The simplest manual solution is to add "Non JIRA user" text custom field and put names there. This should work for simple "manual" management.
