Jira Cloud: Create user who only has Read Only Access for Jira Filters (nothing else)

[Nick Angelos]

Hi - I'm trying to create a user who can only see Filters that I want to assign to them.  They shouldn't be able to see the other issues in our projects.  They shouldn't be able to edit anything, just should be able to view the Filters assigned to them.

Appreciate the help.

Hello,

Filter does not restrict permissions of a user. You would need to restrict user permission in the project permission scheme and if it is not enough, you could use security levels.

It looks like security levels are only applied at the project level though?  Thus making it so a user can see all issues in a specific project.  I want them to only see issues that have a certain label assigned to them...

Security levels are applied at a project level. 

If you want a user to see only issues with certain labels. Then you would need to create a group and add a user, who must see issues with certain labels. Then create a group picker field. If a label is set and a certain group must see it, then you should add this group to this field. In the project permission scheme grant this group picker field the Browse Projects permission.

You can set a group to the group picker field by a scripting add-on:

For example, you could do it with the Power Scripts add-on:

You could create a listener for the Update Issue event with a code like this:

If ("your label" in labels) {

   #{your group picker field name}  = "your group";

}
