License Audit for JiraJira Cloud · Atlassian Forge

Find inactive Jira users you're still paying for

License Audit lists licensed users who haven't changed, commented on, logged work on or created anything in Jira for a period you choose. It is read-only, so it can't deactivate anyone or change your site.

Read-only · free for up to 10 users · billed through Atlassian

License Audit inside Jira's admin settings: how inactivity is decided, the audit period, and seats by Jira product.

What the report shows

Seats, inactive users and what they cost

Seats per product

For Jira Software, Service Management and Product Discovery: the seats Atlassian bills you for, your plan limit, and how many belong to inactive users.

Inactive users

Each inactive user with how long they have been inactive: 90–180 days, 180–365 days, or over a year. Longest first.

Yearly cost

Enter what one seat costs you and the report shows the yearly total for the inactive seats.

Search and export

Search and filter the whole list, then download it as CSV or Excel.

How it decides

How a user is marked inactive

Only actions count

Changing a status or field, logging work, commenting, or creating an issue. Being assigned an issue does not count, because someone else did that.

Every user is checked in full

A quick scan clears most active users. Anyone it can't clear is checked against every issue on the site before being listed.

Seat numbers come from Atlassian

The user list comes from your licence groups, and seat counts are the figures Atlassian bills you on.

It can't change your site

The app has no write permission. It runs on Atlassian Forge, so your data stays in Atlassian's cloud. Only site admins can open it.
