Use this interactive demo to learn how to invite and assign a user to your Jira project.

Quick summary

Adding a user to a Jira project takes just a few clicks: use the Add People button, enter the user's email or name, assign a role, and confirm. This guide walks you through each step so you can manage project access in Jira quickly and correctly.


Steps

  1. In your Jira project, navigate to the top of the window and click the 'Add People' button next to the project's name.
  2. Enter the registered email address or name of the user you want to add into the input field.
  3. Click the 'Role' menu and select the appropriate role from the list of options.
  4. Click 'Add Person' to apply the changes and grant the user project access.
  5. Confirm that the new user has been successfully added to your Jira project.

📌 Why this matters

Adding users to a Jira project is a core team-management task that determines who can view, contribute to, and manage your software workflows. Getting role assignments right from the start ensures that the right team members have the correct level of access, reducing security risks and workflow bottlenecks. Jira's built-in people-management feature makes it straightforward for project admins to onboard collaborators without needing IT intervention. This demo matters because fast, accurate user provisioning keeps agile teams moving and projects on track.
