Masking User and Group INFO in Jira by plugin

[ksanju k]

We are looking for a plugin or any alternative way to have GDPR compliance in a Jira project.

Polygran offers Anonymized Project View plugin for Anonymization of user details within one Jira project. 

Our Jira is Data Center version - v8.22.4#822004 with which the offered plugin is incompatible. Thus, we need your suggestion/alternatives for that.

Your response is much appreciated.

Hi @ksanju k

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Can you describe in a bit more detail what you'd like to achieve exactly? GDPR compliance is a broad use case and I'm missing the part in what context you'd like to show or not show user details in order to help you better.

Based on the previous version of your question and the plugin you're asking about, I assume that you want to enable a special view to certain users which only shows anonymized issues.

I can see two possible steps forward:

• You can ask the vendor of Anonymized Project View via their support if or when they will release a Data Center compatible version.
• You can create a separate project which will be your "anonymous" view on a project and then use an issue sync app to sync exactly the data you want to show to the "anonymous" project.
  I'm part of the Backbone Issue Sync team, one of these issue sync apps. You mentioned that you can't use our app for some reason. If you want to discuss that, please reach out to our support.

I hope you find a fitting solution.

Cheers,
Matthias.

Thank you @Matthias Gaiser _K15t_ for your response. 

We have to mask user details in assignee, reporter, watcher, comments, etc., fields. With help of Anonymized Project View Plugin, we could achieve our requirement however the plugin is not available for Jira Datacenter version so we want to achieve our requirement with any other plugin that provides the same functionality.

I have logged a ticket to Anonymized plugin view support. We already started using Exalate plugin instead of Backbone Issue Sync.

Then fingers crossed that you get a positive reply from the Anonymized plugin view support. I'm pretty sure Exalate would also be happy to help discussing your use case.

All the best for your solution!

Cheers,
Matthias
