Redirect all users other than Admin group to Maintenance page

[Tayyab Bashir]

Hi, 
I am using JIRA 7.0, Is there a way I can redirect all users except few chosen people in the Admin group to maintenance page while some upgrade/improvement/testing is being done over the production server? 

Admin group should be able to access the production server and all other user should be directed to some other page.

Setup Apache Proxy in front and redirect users to maintenance page when they access your defined JIRA URL. Read here https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/using-apache-with-mod_proxy-173669.html

Hi, I am using the Jira Standalone distribution. To setup apache proxy in front won't I have to use Jira WAR distribuition? Or is there a way to access it independently?

Hi Muhammad,

You can use this tutorial to retrieve the user logged in and then use a custom Javascript on your announcement banner to redirect the user according to its username.
