...
external LDAP directory is listed at the top order
...

...
- Jira/Confluence
...
- causes the changes to be applied directly to your LDAP server. Your configured LDAP user
...
- must have modification permissions on your LDAP server.)
- If the directory type is Delegated LDAP Authentication,
...
- Jira/Confluence can use LDAP for user authentication only. To be able to log in
...
- to Jira/Confluence with this configuration
...
- :
- users must either be created first
...
- in Jira/Confluence or
- the option 'Copy User on First Login' can be
...
- selected to automatically add them to JIRA/Confluence’s internal directory.

...
Jira/Confluence, but modifications
...
are not
...
reflected on the LDAP server.

...
used. However, users from LDAP can be added to groups maintained in
...
Jira/Confluence’s internal directory.
