Restricting pages in Confluence based on project access rights from JIRA

[Tim Struyf]

Hi,

We are using both JIRA and Confluence for our projects.

Some of our projects are confidential this means we have to restrict access rights in JIRA and Confluence.

In JIRA we do this by defining the users who can access the JIRA project "Users and roles" of the JIRA project. 

In Confluence we also have a page for each project and we also want to restrict access rights to that page which we do by setting page restrictions.

This works fine, but this means we have to grant people access twice, once in JIRA and once in Confluence

Is there a way to take over the project access rights from JIRA and apply them on the Confluence page?

Already looked into creating an active directory group, but that would create a lot of overhead... and is also not easy to manage.

Thanks for your feedback 

Tim

Hi @Tim Struyf

You would have do manually, if you want to take over the project access rights from JIRA and apply them on the Confluence page.

We do have an option provided both JIRA and Confluence use the same Active Directory. Reading your requirements, we can suggest that the permissions be given on a group to group basis. For example, a secret project in JIRA can be given access to a Group called, "secret-group". This same group will be given access to the Confluence Secret space. 

Basically, Confluence spaces will have group based permissions and JIRA projects will also have same group based "Users and roles" permissions.  

You can refer the following links

• Page Restriction in Confluence.
• Restrict User Access in JIRA.
