Permissions for Team managed projects

[Ruaan Kruger]

Hi there,

I'm using Jira cloud and we are using team managed projects. From documentation I understand that the permission need to be set to private.

I am an admin and member on the project.

Using the API : rest/api/3/version/:id/relatedwork

I get the following response:

{

    "errorMessages": [

        "You must have browse project rights in order to view versions."

    ],

    "errors": {}

}

I then explored:  rest/api/3/mypermissions?permissions=BROWSE_PROJECTS

and the havePermission property is set to false.

Most documentation I find points to permission schemes. 

My question is therefore:

1. How do I get the permission for team managed projects?

2. Do I need to convert our projects to permission schemes?

Many thanks!

Hi @Ruaan Kruger 

Welcome to the community.

A Team Managed project is private or public.

Private means only users added to the project have access, so no access via API as well.

Public means all users in your Jira instance with a license have access to the project.

Permission schemes don't exist on Team managed project, only on Company Managed.

Thanks @Marc - Devoteam :)

I'm not entirely clear on you mentioning no access via the API. 

I can query the collection of versions (releases) for this project no problem using rest/api/3/project/:projectIdOrKey/versions.

So the API seems okay. However, I cannot query the issues linked to said version.

Is there a workaround for this?

Hi @Ruaan Kruger 

As Jira admin, you are able to query versions, but no issues as they subjected to permissions on project level.

Versions you can query based on admin permissions in Jira.

So you need to be added as a user on the private team managed project to query issues in the project via API

Hi @Marc - Devoteam 

I think I am... If I look at the Project Settings > Access, I'm both a member and an admin (see screenshot).

Is there some place else where I need to check permissions?

Thanks for your help so far!

Hi @Ruaan Kruger 

And you need access to all other projects in the Jira instance as issues related to the version can be in projects you don't have browse permissions too.

That's what the exact issue means.

Via the Jira GUI, JQL the version and see all issues related, check if you have access in all issues.
