Unable to Unsubscribe from Email Subscription List

[Marty E McCune]

Seems like whenever someone sets up an "Issue Subscription" email, they select the entire Jira community; however, most of us are not involved in their project and have no way to opt-out of those emails. It's annoying and very time consuming to get removed from the list, or to have the distribution of these notifications updated.

Every Issue Subscription email needs to have a mechanism for people to opt-out of receiving it. At very least, the person who set up the notification emails needs to be referenced at the top and bottom of the email so users can quickly and easily flood their email box with requests to unsubscribe from the notifications.

Additionally, nobody except system administrators should have the ability to add "all jira users" to any Issue Subscription distribution.

@Marty E McCune, in addition to Vasiliy's very good advice, you may wish to vote/watch this issue - JRACLOUD-35006 (or if on server - JRASERVER-35006).

Dear Marti, hi!

It seems that you do not restrict users into filters.

First of all you should start to create filters and subsription based on currentUser() function.

For example: assignee = currentUser().

It this case email will be send only to actial assignees.

More one option: restirct users with permissions, like this: project in projectsWhereUserHasPermission("Resolve Issues")

In this case only users with resilve issue permission will get an email.

Try to educate your users to create more spesified filters.

Best regards, Vasiliy
