Managing groups and group membership
Groups are a common way of managing users in any information system. While groups are
usually based on positions and responsibilities within an organization, it is important to
note that groups simply represent a collection of users. In JIRA, groups provide an effect-

will always be in that group regardless of the project you are accessing.
