Can I show JiraJSM and JPD in the navigation only for certain groups and hide it for everyone else?

[Udo Marx]

We use JIRA only internally, we don't want others to see Jira in the Navigation, (they ask to use it)
is there a way to show it only for certain usergroups?

Hi @Udo Marx 

As far as I know, Jira Cloud doesn’t natively support hiding Jira Software, JSM, or JPD from the top navigation bar based on user groups. If a user has product access, they’ll see it in the nav, even if they don’t use it.

What you can do natively:

• Restrict product access: Go to admin.atlassian.com → Products → Access and assign Jira Software, JSM, or JPD only to specific groups. Users without access won’t see the product at all.
• Limit project visibility: Use permission schemes to ensure users only see projects they’re allowed to browse.
• Set JPD projects to private: Only contributors explicitly added will see them.
• Restrict JSM portals: Set customer permissions to “Restricted” so only invited users see the portal.

If you want to hide the navigation bar items per group there is only a 3^rd party app that works in the Cloud

STAGIL Navigation Menus for Jira | Atlassian Marketplace

I haven’t used it though

Other useful links:

• Restrict JPD project visibility
• Limit JSM portal visibility
• Project visibility via permission schemes

Hope this helps!
