Do I need to buy the Standard or Premium Jira plan to be able to stop some users viewing spaces?

I would like to stop only some users viewing certain spaces? It is possible to do this with the free, standard or premium plan?

Hi @Natalie Keane 

Standard plan provides the feature below:

User roles and permissions

Control what users can create, view, and comment on in Jira.

Hey @Natalie Keane

Good day!

This is possible with the Standard plan as well by managing the project (space) permissions as per your requirement. Could you please elaborate on your requirement so we can suggest a detailed approach? 

Thanks!

Thank you for your speedy response. 

I currently have a free plan. However, I want to add more users and then edit space permissions so that different users can only view certain spaces.

Hey Natalie,

It appears this post is duplicate, and I just responded to your original post here: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/Is-it-possible-to-stop-a-user-seeing-certain-spaces-with-the/qaq-p/3184031

We can't modify the permissions on the Free plan, but your requirement is achievable on the Standard plan.

Hi Natalie,

You would need a paid subscription - it doesn't matter which one. But with the Free subscription you have right now it is not possible to control the permissions.
