I have a need to lock out access for an amount of time

[Terry Dance]

I need to lock users out of the system for a weekend while some work is carried out, and data is pulled through a connector. I cannot see a simple way to lock users out. The only ways I can think of is to update all Projects with a "Locked down" Permissions scheme so users cannot create/edit anything. Or go through User Management and turn off product access individually, but for nearly 600 users thats just too much time.

Has anyone else had this situation before? Other products I've worked on have had a simple button to click in the Admin side to lock the system down and log everyone out.

Hi @Terry Dance

Setting a permission scheme with only browse permissions on all project is indeed the only solution in Jira Cloud.

Hello @Terry Dance 

Product access is usually granted through user groups.

You could revoke product access for all the user groups, after first creating a user groups for yourself and adding yourself to Product Access.

Make sure you make note of all the groups that have the various levels of product access before making changes.

If you grant product access through the group labeled DEFAULT ACCESS, you will have to create another local group and make it the DEFAULT ACCESS group.

Also if you allow invitations or automatically give a product access roll to users in approved domains, you may have to disable those options also.

Some of those steps would require Organization Admin level access to manipulate.

You could also explore setting up redirection in your networking to intercept the URL and redirect the users to some message screen rather than to the Jira instance itself.
