Accessing Hover Profile
When you move or hover your mouse over a user's username or full name on:
- an issue view,
- any issue listed in the Issue Navigator, or
- any of the project browser screens,
an interactive popup balloon appears.

Please Note: The Hover Profile popup balloon is not available on user names which appear on activity streams and dashboard gadgets throughout the JIRA interface.
Using the Hover Profile Popup Balloon
The top part of the Hover Profile popup balloon shows the user's full name, avatar and their email address, as defined in their user profile. You can email a user from their Hover Profile by clicking their email address link, which opens up a new email message in your email client with that email address in the To: field.
The lower part of the Hover Profile popup balloon also provides easy access to the following information about a user, via the following links:
- Activity — the user's recent activity on the JIRA site.
- Click More, then:
- Profile — the user's user profile page.
- Current Issues — the user's list of unresolved issues (via the Issue Navigator).
- Administer User (only visible to JIRA Administrators who have the JIRA Users permission) — the user's details in JIRA's user management area of the administration console.
