Restricting importing groups while importing users from LDAP into Jira

I don't want to import the groups from LDAP into Jira, while importing the users from LDAP in Jira.

I am not familiar to LDAP, but I want to import only users in Jira.

Is there anything that c开发者_如何学Can be done at Jira level to restrict importing groups?

If you fill out your directory settings with the correct, but set the 'Group Object Filter" to an LDAP filter that will match nothing, you will not import any groups.

An example of a globally non-matching LDAP filter would be (1=2)

If you are using this technique, the other group LDAP settings become redundant, so you can set them as you please.

I don't know that there is a way to tell LDAP not to return the groups (in JIRA or otherwise), but you can tell JIRA not to use the groups to create JIRA groups. In my experience, JIRA will not automatically create JIRA groups to match LDAP groups if you use the setting "Read Only, with Local Groups".

I can't test that right now, I don't have my test server running. But I think that is the way it works. So if that is what you are trying to accomplish, then that should work for you.

You can specify what you want out of LDAP with extreme precision, certainly including whether you get users, groups, organizations, etc. Look up the LDAP search filter syntax. You will also need to know which LDAP schema is in use at the server, at least for users.
