JIRA Project Permissions - Restricting Access

[Gregg.Roseker@amido.com]

Hello,

Is it possible to restrict access to a JIRA project for a group of users, so they are able to Read anything but the only Edit or Write access they have is to create or amend Comments on an issue? 

I ask this question because I share access to a JIRA project with my client and they keep altering the description field (which contains acceptance criteria) after issues have been committed to a sprint. I don't want to restrict their access to Read Only for the entire project. I just want to stop them from amending the description field.

Thanks

Gregg

Hi Gregg.Roseker@amido.com,

Yes, you can.

• Go to the Project Settings -> Permissions
• You need to remove EDIT ISSUES permission from the customer.
• If you only want them create issue and comment, add CREATE ISSUE, BROWSE PROJECT, ADD COMMENT permissions, remove all others.

Gregg.Roseker@amido.comAs Jira admin,  you  can  set it in  the permission  scheme in the  Project  under  project  setting.

Best!
