Users
The 'Team Views' page provides an at-a-glance look at user engagement within your team, displaying the viewing statistics of Jira issues by different user groups.

Add Folder: Enhance organization by creating new folders. Use the ‘Add Folder’ button to categorize selected users based on your criteria.
Only users who have views for this instance will be shown on the Team Views page for folders.
For example, while creating the folder was added user Denys Dukhov. But after creating the folder this user is not shown in the user list, because he doesn't have the views for the issues.
