We want people to be able create and use their own private projects but we do not want those projects to be visible to al other users. How can we make it so that when users "view all projects" they see only the one shared project that we all collaborate on but are able to create private projects that will be visible only to them?
There is a Global Permission to where you can specify the User Groups that are able to create Team Managed projects. By allocating that permission you can allow non-Admin users to create projects of the Team Managed variety.
Only Jira Administrators can create projects of the Company Managed variety.
Company managed projects leverage the Schemes for configuration, and Schemes are managed by Jira Administrators; i.e. Issue Type scheme, Workflow scheme, Permission scheme.
Team Managed projects can be customized by the users that have the Administrator role within that project. However, the available functionality in Team Managed projects is a bit different than the comparable Company Managed project. You may want to spend some time reviewing the differences before deciding you want to give that option to your end users.
If you choose to enable this option, once created the Administrator of the Team Managed project would need to set the Access level for the project to Private to hide it from all non-Jira Administrator users except the ones explicitly granted access to it.
If you don't choose to enable that Global Permission, then to give your users private projects the projects would have to be created by Jira Administrators. Jira Administrators can create Team Managed projects even when the Global Permission is not allocated to any user group. The Jira Administrators could create either a Team Managed project for the user and assign the user to the Administrator role in that project, or the Jira Administrators could create a Company Managed project assigning the user to the Administrator role, and assigning to the project a Permission Scheme that limits access to the project to only people in the Administrators role.
