Data retention times for user accounts

[Linda Korpås]

Hi, 

Does anyone know if there are some functionality in Jira that supports retention times for personal data/user accounts? 

For example, if we would like to remove/delete user accounts after they have been inactive (no site access) for a certain time, can this be done automatically in Jira or do we need to handle this manually?

And also, when I have deleted a user in Jira, the name still shows in fields such as Reporter, Assignee etc. I have read that they should be anonymized ("Former user" or something like that) after deletion but can't see that happening, does anyone know why?

Thanks!

@Linda Korpås You would have to use the API to do this and it would require that you create some sort of script.  There is a help doc here that explains this https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/delete-users-from-atlassian-cloud-using-postman-and-rest-apis-1295679985.html
