Can a subset of a team use Jira premium or does it need to be ALL users?

[Kate Brigham]

I'm trying to figure out if just a part of our team could upgrade to Jira premium to make it more affordable vs. having to upgrade the full team?

Thanks for letting me know if that's even an option, and if it is, does it work, or does it create a hot mess?

Hi @Kate Brigham , welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The Jira plan is valid for all users, so there's no option to have part users on the Standard Plan and other users on the Premium Plan.

Good to know, thanks!

You can set up two sites but then the teams will be completely isolated.

In that context, can issues (epics, stories, tasks, bugs etc.) be shared/viewed across the two sites, or not? That is, can some of the teams have their plans created and managed in the first site (Standard license), and the leadership team and project managers to create the advanced roadmap in the second site (Premium license) by using the info from the plans created in the first site? Thanks!

Very good point!
