Changing the Tempo Account Status

Accounts can have one of the following statuses: open, closed, or archived - see the table below for details on each status.

When you create a Tempo account, it is open by default. You can close and archive accounts when you are finished with the project or initiative that you are tracking with the account. Even if an account is closed or archived, you can re-open it simply by changing its Status as described in the steps below.

You can also delete an account, but we recommend that you either close or archive the account, especially if the account is linked to several Jira projects and issues.

Required Permissions

  • Tempo Account Administrator

Account Leads for the account can also change the status.
