Howto handle email-adresses for inactive users

[Erik Mathijs]

While moving our Atlassian server stack (Jira and Confluence) to the cloud, there will be a move from inactive users to the cloud (because of some history jira issue's).

The inactive users have a email-address (for example: name@ourcompagny.be) wich is not valid any more.

Is this a problem ?

---

Some other users (active and inactive) have a external email-addresses, so not a mail address from our compagny.

• Do i have to pay attention about this situation ?
• Is it possible that the users of our Atlassian stack have a external email-address ?

Thanks in advance for you're answers !

Hi @Erik Mathijs ,

No, If you are migrating from an active directory this will not be a problem, the inactive user will be migrated. 

Yes it is possible that users of Atlassian stack to be migrated having an external e-mail addresses. Unless you are migrating JSM customers, there's a special custom jar file that you need to use.

Hi Amna,

Thanks for you're response.

Our atlassian-users will be migrated for Jira Crowd not from an active directory.
