Select Application
For each installed Jira application (Jira Service Management, Jira Software and Jira Core), there is a group mapping option.
The License Optimizer will manipulate the application access for the services where the login and access groups have been set.
In the application list, you will see only the applications for which you have a license.
Group settings
For the proper functionality, License Optimizer requires you to set up login and access groups for your applications.
Please note, all of the login and access groups should be unique, and set to only one application for the most efficient user handling.
Login Group
License Optimizer needs to know which group members it can grant access to the application and will be under optimization. This is usually the group providing application access by default: jira-servicedesk-users, jira-software-users, jira-core-users. (You can use these default groups or could also create a new one for this purpose.)
You should configure these groups as “login group(s)” for the License Optimzier app. These groups can be read-only groups, since the optimizer doesn't make any changes to that group, it is only using it to determine if a user should have access or not. The size of this group can be bigger than your purchased license tier, since the app will rotate the access of these users based on their activity, thus optimizing your license.
Access Group
We recommend creating a new group for this. You can also choose an existing group, but remember that we will add and remove users to it as needed, so it should be dedicated to our use.
If you are not using the wizard, create the group yourself or select an existing one.
Assign it to the License Group field in the configuration:
Users who have application access. The selected group here will be manipulated in real-time by License Optimizer to receive application access. You must select one of the groups which have been added to the Application access menu.
In the access group picker, only groups that have been added to the application menu will be listed.
Multi-access groups are not visible in the access group dropdown.
The size of this group is calculated by this formula: “your current license tier” - “the size of the groups that are also added in the application access menu for the chosen application”.
