Info
titleDual Marketplace/Vendor licensing

Dual licensing means SU for JIRA can be:
a) Licensed with Marketplace license
b) Licensed with Vendor licenses

Dual licensing does not mean SU Vendor licenses are compatible with marketplace, can be installed in marketplace or otherwise used anywhere except the Vendor license screen, as they are by definition Vendor licenses.

For users wanting to switch to Marketplace licensing, when renewing maintenance, a 50% discount for their specific license tier will be given. This discount is done through a single use promotion code.  At this time transfer 'mid-year' is not being offered.

What is SU?

Excerpt

As a JIRA administrator you get users saying 'I cant do xyz', or you have conversations like 'you should see xyz' and the phone says 'no I cant'. You need to be your user to ensure clarity of instructions, and to spot/resolve other kinds of problems. Without giving passwords away, how do you do that? Well, you use this plugin. This plugin enables system administrators to become another user (to 'su' in Linux speak), enable setup, testing etc

...

  1. You can install this plugin via the universal plugin manager!

License install

The Plugins 'configure' link lets you request an EVAL license. Follow the screenshots listed on the plugin page

1.5.x Dual Licensing

Versions above 1.5.x support dual licensing.  This means that:

  1. Marketplace licenses (obtained via the Marketplace) can be installed directly 
  2. Vendor licenses (obtained from The Plugin People or via the automated checkout process) can be installed via the Configure link (above).  The license entry textbox is lower down, scroll down to locate.

Controlling Access

@since JSU 1.5.5

(info) Only system admins can configure who can SU, anyone with SU capability cannot SU to a user with system admin capability!

The default behaviour is that System admins and JIRA admins are able to SU, access may also be granted to nominated groups (note: probably not a good idea to add jira-users into this!):
