How to share dashboard with reports without sharing access to project the report is in?

Zofia.Kubik

Hi,

I created some dashboards that I want to be sharing with the top management team.

These dashboards rely on reports that I created in different Jira Service Desk projects. I shared access to the dashboards and filters with the Jira group the management team belongs to, but I can't find a way to make it work without giving them access to the actual Projects where the reports are created. 

We have quite a few people involved now on different levels and multiple projects - I wanted to use one Jira group added across all of our dashboards, without having to manually add every user to each project.

Is there a way to do it?

Thanks!

Hi @Zofia.Kubik 

Dashboards are another view that shows gadgets based on project data. The least you need is the read-only access to projects. You can add a project role called "Management" and give them only browse project permission.

Another option could be to use an add-on like eazyBI or embed these reports in a Confluence page and take a PDF export regularly from there.

I guess your concern is more about adding them in individual projects. Using project roles or groups (if you don't have several people in management and they don't change often) and then using a standard permission scheme wherever possible with browser project permission given to management role/group should be the way forward.
