I'm all for good documentation, because not everyone learns in the same way, and if you have a product as broadly used as Jira, I think its user base deserves it. But in the basis it's just an inefficient, after the fact attempt to mitigate poor UI/UX. Which could EASILY have been clearer about the access rules, and they could (should) have defaulted to a more restrictive setting. First of all to protect users against the clearly more damaging of the two extremes (too restrictive versus not restrictive enough) but also because it better fits Jira's nominal use case.
