Setting a user password explicitly

Tal Lavi

Hi,

We're using JIRA on cloud. I understand that since the consolidation of jira logins into attlasian IDs, admins can no longer change passwords directly.

But what do I do if I need a user without a mail, for example, a read only public user for displaying on dashboards, etc.

Do I have to create a mail for it in order to change a password and do a login?

Thanks,

Tal

Hi @Tal Lavi,

Welcome to this community

You can make projects to public access in the permission scheme, with the option: "Group: Anyone"And after that, you can create public dashboards for this publics projects.

I hope this help, Cheers,

Adrián.

Thanks for the very swift answer. I'm afraid I haven't explained myself well enough. I don't want it to be public for anyone, but public in my organization. Meaning - I do want people to have to login, but it's an unattended machines, and many people should be able to login, so it makes sense to me to make a single "public" username, with a known password, and just let people have it. It seems weird to me that I have to create a mail account just for that.

@Tal Lavi I was thinking What if you don't not want any one to browse project ?

Well in your thoughts you could have this user created with a valid email set user password,(can be made public) give user access to project, as project admin and use this user's account to display board etc.

best!

Hi @Tal Lavi,

Thanks for the explanation, I am afraid that is totally necessary to create this "general" account with an attached email to allow the users to login in Jira.

Cheers,

Adrián.

Thanks Adrian (and also Moses).

I was afraid of that. Our IT is not too crazy about dummy accounts which are not linked to users, that's why I wanted to circumvent this.

It's odd to me that JIRA doesn't let me just define a user if I wish so..

Thanks again,

Tal
