I want to add new users to my jira boars, but when I do the users don't see the project i'm trying to give them acces to. There seems to be a problem with the project, because when I make new projects an user sees the new project and the sapce, and when I give this user admin rights, he'll see the space, but not the project.

 

How can I assign this user to that project?

Check the permission scheme and roles as a combination. In addition there is a separate permission for the app istelf

Hi @Luuk Post 

What do you mean, the term project in Jira has been replaced by Space.

What type of space are you using team or company managed, have you added to use to the access or people section on the space and granted them a role.

In Atlassian Administration have you granted the user(s) access to Jira?

Yes, i've given the user acces to the space, I think. The space seems to be company managed, but as i'm the company owner, I should be able to manage this space then. 

 

When I try to acces the jira-borad it isn't there and when I try to filter on the list I get this problem:

Hi @Luuk Post 

The JQL tell you that there is not space with space key CK.

So this means the user is not assigned a role on the space or there is no space with space key CK

Yes that's the problem. I can't seem to find how to assign this user to the space and thus to the board. Because every other user does have this project in their JIRA.

Hi @Luuk Post 

Did you use Bitbucket Cloud or are you using it, where you on a trail plan?

Hello @Luuk Post 

You need to check the Browse projects permission and if that user is part of the role within that permission. Best practice is to assign roles to the users.

When I try to check the roles, there are no roles associated with this user. But I can't seem to change this, where should I change this?

You can check this if you are project administrator and if you see the Space settings when you click on three dots in left sidebar.

This user doesn't have this permission. jira_problem2.png

Where can I assign this permission to this user? Beacuse in the space settings - people I can't change this, but in the user management I also can't change this.

@Luuk Post 

You need to go to the space settings -> Permissions. Locate Browse Projects permission, edit the permission scheme and add the individual user Bitbucket Pipelines. 

CAUTION: Changing the permission scheme if it's a default one, may apply to other projects sharing the permission scheme. First check with how many spaces your permission scheme is shared with.

Okay, when I do this, I get an error: 'permissions aren't editable on the current plan', so I can't seem to assign this to that specific user.
