JIra software permission issue

[Rupisha]

Hi Team,

we have 20 scrum projects created in Jira cloud. we have Jira advance roadmap plan and dashboard setup to view details about all 20 projects.

I want to give following permissions to users as below:

1. All the users can see 20 projects in dashboard even though users doesn't have of browse project permission.

Note: I used filters to get all 20 projects data using JQL in gadgets in Jira dashboard.

2. Only limited users can see the projects in Jira advanced roadmap plan for specific projects but users can see all 20 projects information in jira dashboard.

please suggest how I can fulfill this requirement.

Regards,
Rupisha Soni

Hi @Rupisha and welcome to the Community!

Your first requirement is not possible. If a user doesn't have browse project permission, he/she cannot see the project nor the issues in there.

And the second idea is along the same lines. You can limit access to an advanced roadmaps plan, but the issues a user can see in there, require browse project permission in Jira itself.

It is common practice to create issues in a separate project in Jira that represent your  projects in your project portfolio. These will be a separate issue type that you add yourself and that is often an initiative or even - if you don't mind some meta-thinking - a project. If you define those issues as parents of epics in the Advanced Roadmaps hierarchy, they will be visible in the plans, or even in your dashboard.

That is more or less the opposite approach to showing your users what projects are occurring, but doing it as you describe will not work.

Hope this helps!
