How to Create a User Group in Jira

Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a new user group in your Jira workspace.

Quick summary

Creating a user group in Jira lets admins organize team members and manage permissions at scale through Atlassian Admin Settings. This process takes under a minute and is completed entirely within the Jira and Atlassian Admin interface.


Steps

  1. On Jira's main home page, navigate to the top-right corner and click the Settings icon.
  2. Select User Management under Atlassian Admin Settings.
  3. In the left-hand panel, choose Groups under the Directory tab.
  4. Click the Create Group button to proceed.
  5. Fill out the input fields with the required information, including Name, Description, and Users.
  6. Click Create to apply the changes and finalize the group.
  7. Confirm that a new user group has been successfully created in your Jira space.

📌 Why this matters

Creating user groups in Jira is essential for teams that need to manage access permissions and collaborate efficiently at scale. Jira user groups allow administrators to assign roles, control project visibility, and streamline onboarding by grouping members with shared responsibilities. Without proper user group management, maintaining consistent permissions across projects becomes error-prone and time-consuming. This feature is a core part of Atlassian's admin toolkit for organizations running agile workflows in Jira.
