Hide Active Directory Groups in Jira

[Colin Tisdall]

We currently have our Jira instance connected to Active Directory. When a user views another user in Jira they can see every Active Directory group that user is a party of. We need to hide a certain groups so that when viewing a user that group is does not show up.

Is this possible?

[Andy Brook [Plugin People]]

To hide specific groups, patterns of groups etc, you should use the ldap filter attribute groupFilter. See this.

[Jason Hensler]

We did this for confluence aswell. Setting a groupFilter that would never be true effectively hid Active Directory groups.

Can you use a more restrictive BaseDN? If you're syncronizing the directory, that's about the best you can do. If you use a separate Crowd that you then connect to Jira, you have a lot more flexibility over what groups show up in Jira.
