Add a Jira group as request participants

Jira Service Management adds participants one person at a time. Here’s how to add a whole group, or the whole organization, automatically.

Atlassian's feature request: JSDCLOUD-1268 — "Add a Jira group as request participants", open since 2014. Related: JSDCLOUD-1530 and JSDCLOUD-4570.

What Jira Service Management gives you

With Customer Roster

A participant rule says: when a request is created in this project (optionally of this request type), add these people as participants — the members of a Jira group, an organization, or the request's own organization.

  1. Rules → Participant rules → New participant rule.
  2. Pick the project, optional request type, and the group or organization. Set the per-request limit.
  3. Read the weekly email estimate (from the last 30 days of requests).
  4. Type the estimate to turn the rule on.

Participants get Jira Service Management's emails about the request — that's the point. People who have never signed in may also get a "confirm your email" note. Rules start off, and you see the estimate before any rule goes on. See Email behavior.
