Does the JIRA admin User login "Count" and "Last" date also include Confluence activity?

Question

Hello,

The JIRA Admin allows the view of an user's total login count and also the last date of their login.  I'd like to check if these numbers are specific to the usage of JIRA, or if these numbers also include login activity on Confluence?

For instance, I know that certain users only have a few cases on JIRA, so that a login count of "600" seems to be rather unexpected.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Manali,

this means, that Confluence and Jira use the same source to pull login information for their users from :)

What does users share the same directory mean?

Hi Candace,

If your Confluence and JIRA users share the same directory the login count to JIRA could increase by means other than directly logging into JIRA. In my testing I found that logging into Confluence didn't increase the login count in JIRA. If I view a Confluence page that contains resources pulled from JIRA (ex. An issue macro), that did trigger an increase in the count. When such a page is loaded, a request to JIRA is made for those resources. The user is essentially "logging in" so JIRA can determine if they have permission to see the content being displayed. When this happens, JIRA registers this as a login and the count is increased for that user.
