How to Manage Granular Permissions on Next-Gen Jira Projects?

Mo Housaini

In order to give users the ability to @mention each other in a next-gen Jira project, I need to give them the Browse users and groups global permission - the description for which is as follows:

"View and select users or groups from the user picker, and share issues. Users with this permission can see the names of all users and groups on your site."

However, this allows users to browse all users on the site via the 'People' page, I only want them to be able to browse the users within the next-gen project that they have been added to. Is this possible?

I believe this can be achieved using permission schemes in classic Jira projects. However, I don't think it's possible to assign permission schemes to next-gen projects.

Hello @Mo Housaini

In fact, the Next-gen template was designed for those users who felt overwhelmed by the complexity of JIRA Classic template and requested a simpler option, straight to the point with fewer options of customization.

That being said, it does not allow granular permissions to define which users can select new users under the people tab of Next-gen projects.

We have a feature request opened to implement this kind of functionality:

- Ability to manage permissions in next-gen projects

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

For now, we recommend you to use classic projects to perform this restriction.

Let me know if you still have any questions.
