User Permission on Component and Filter

[Narayan P]

Hi 

Is it possible to assign permissions to users based on components and filters? 

For example, I don't want a developer user to see all the issues which are under the "Engineering" component.   

Also, is it possible to control the permission of users on "Filters"

Hi, @Narayan P !

Welcome to the Community!

You have an interesting case to R&D. 

If you don't have any additional apps:

It looks to me that you can:

a) create issue security level on each "component",

b) create "project roles" on each "component",

c) then in workflow configurations add a post-function "Set issue security level based on user's project role", for example, on creation-transition. 

So each project role will see just their issues(in filters, gadgets, reports, dashboards, boards).

If you have any additional apps, for example,ScriptRunner for Jira:

Maybe you can create your own logical script that will set right issue security level, depends on components value on issue-creation.

Some years ago I made it on Jira Server.

Good luck!

@Narayan P  Their is no direct way of doing what you are asking but few workarounds to achieve it. You can set up Browse Permission of your project on a group picker filed, now i believe you would be using groups to group your users under project roles if not then i guess you should use groups.

Now you should use automation to set group picker value based on component selected.

Same came be done for other permissions also, I know you can use Security scheme in somewhat same way but i personally find it very confusing and annoying so i use permission scheme to achieve these kind of things.

For filters i don't believe you can control access to it based on users you can control filter access based on either groups ,project roles, your organisation or keep it private
