Hide the email address of users in Jira

[Abhijeet Kale]

Is there any way we can hide the email address of users in Jira.

We have a public Jira instance and external users are also allowed to create an account in Jira. while searching users in JQL or any user picker field it shows the email address of all the users.

Is there any option to hide email addresses even in the user profile section?

Hi @Abhijeet Kale As mention by Benjamin,

You can update this from Jira general configuration

https://<jira-base-url>/secure/admin/EditApplicationProperties!default.jspa

But, before making this change I would suggest to check the users script or rest calls if they are using email-ids in it those might get affected, so confirm that before making the change.

HI @Abhijeet Kale ,

You can do it globally. You can hide, mask, or provide only to login users.
