How can users disable Jira email notifications?

Aaron Bramson

I would like to disable email notifications for certain events in JIRA so that I don't get an email every time somebody creates an event for me, or comments on one, or completes one I created, or whatever other thing. 

Although I am supposed to be the admin of that project, I don't have the notification scheme option anywhere I can find.  But that's beside the point because users should OBVIOUSLY be able to set these options for themselves individually (because individual's preferences and ways of using JIRA differ).  It's so annoying that we will be switching to a new task management platform if we cannot disable these emails very soon.

Maybe the option exists and I can't find it, in that case please point me to the instructions. Or maybe Atlassian failed to provide this obvious feature, in which case please add this obviously desired feature.

You need to go over the notification schemes with your administrators to make them more fit for your needs.

Remember that JIRA is about sharing, not getting totally different sets of information because you don't feel like seeing what your co-workers do - the schemes mean people get consistent behaviour and know that others are getting the same shared information.  But they are a bit noisy by default.
