Fields Explained
Create users - required to enable user creation
Created User ID from email - ensures a userid that doesn't collide with an existing user
Auto Join Group(s) - by default, a created user has no group membership, so some membership should be set to allow Project permissions to use it.
Auto join groups must exist
Groups must pre-exist in order to be used.
Having no groups will mean the user will have to be identified by name in project configuration and is not scalable
Adding 'jira-users/jira-developers/jira-administrator' groups will consume a JIRA seat as they have global Right To Use
Adding any other group that does not have global Right to Use will not result in a licensed seat, however, that user won't be able to login (fair's fair)
