How it works…
JIRA can operate in two modes, public and private. In the private mode, only the adminis-
trator can create new user accounts; for example, you can use the private mode for JIRA in-
stances that are used by internal engineering teams to track their projects, as shown in the
following screenshot.
The public mode allows anyone to sign up for new accounts. The new accounts created will
have normal user permissions (JIRA Users global permission), so they will be able to start
using JIRA immediately.
