mass creation of user accounts via Crowd

[Plexus ALM Support]

Does enabling Crowd automatically allow access if the appropriate credentials are set in AD or would we still need to create a local account with Jira for each user?

Yes, you will be able to login JIRA using users in Crowd if it is setup properly. You won't have to create a local account in JIRA for each user, but you have to make sure the group for the users in Crowd is included in JIRA Users in the Global Permissions.
