⚠️ Good to know

Admin operations are not available via the Atlassian Remote MCP server; all workflows must be performed through admin.atlassian.com or the cited REST APIs.

❓ FAQ

How do I deprovision a user who owns Jira issues?

First audit the user's owned content, reassign open issues via bulk change, then remove from groups, revoke product access, and deactivate the account.

What is the recommended approach for permission schemes?

Use groups rather than individual permissions, apply the principle of least privilege, and conduct regular permission audits.

Can I use MCP for admin tasks?

No, admin operations are not available via the Atlassian Remote MCP server; use admin.atlassian.com or REST APIs instead.
