For on-prem JIRA and Confluence, if I switch from local login to using LDAP will it recognize users

[Mike Hillhouse]

Right now I login locally to Jira/Confluence using <Username>. If I switch to use LDAP authentication, will all tickets/folders currently assign to <Username> still be assigned/work, or does it treat this as a new identity?

Hello @Sara Creenan _M_T_,

Thank you for reaching out to the Atlassian Community!

When it comes to inviting new users to Jira or Confluence, only site-admins and trusted users can do this. 

End users can request access and then the site-admin can approve or deny.

It’s currently not possible to disable the invite option, all site-admins will be able to do that.

There are some feature requests suggesting improvements for that:

• Restricting the trusted users from adding new users to the site.
• Disable the access requests
• Improve Request Access feature

Kind regards,
Angélica
