Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Admins, agents, and customers can create accounts by adding someone’s email address in the To or CC fields of email messages. When organizations host sensitive data on their portal and knowledge base, they may not want agents or customers to create new accounts by mistake. Site admins can define whether or not they want accounts created via To or CC fields of email messages.
To view or change these settings for your site:
From the top right of your screen, select Settings () > Products.
Under Jira Service Management, select Email requests.
Under Account creation for customers, select who can create accounts.
Select Save.
The behavior of account creation settings depends on the global customer access and project-level customer permissions settings.

The following sections describe how different settings affect account creation via emails:
Agents can always create new accounts. Existing customers can create new accounts based on customer access and project level customer permissions settings
When your site admin selects this option, agents can always create accounts by adding customers’ email addresses in the To or CC fields of email messages.
Existing customers can create new accounts only if you select:
allow customers to create accounts on the Customer Access page, and
anyone allowed on the customer access settings on the Customer Permissions page in the project
Anyone can create new accounts based on customer access and project level customer permissions settings
When your site admin selects this option, anyone can create new accounts only if you select:
allow customers to create accounts on the customer access page, and
anyone allowed on the customer access settings on the customer permissions page in the project
If the site admin or project admin has set any other option for these settings, then new account creation will not take place through email messages.
No one can create new accounts
No one can create new accounts using email messages when your site admin selects this option. If agents or project admins need to add participants to a request, they can manually add the customer’s email address in the issue view.
