Introduction (v 1.1)

How does it work?

User Anonymization is done by removing all references to a Jira user and replace them with a new anonymous technical user.

You should first create an anonymous technical user in your own Jira instance. Then you can use our "User Anonymizer for Jira" app to change the references of a user to your new anonymous user. Optionally, you may delete the user or remove the user from an external user directory sync after the anonymization process, depending on your requirements.

Where does Jira store personal data?

There are plenty of places where Jira does store personal information. The following elements are supported to be anonymized by "User Anonymizer for Jira".
