How can i restrict the different users to access different projects in jira software

Question

Hello jira community,

I currently have more than one projects in my jira software which are visible to all the peoples who using the jira software in our organization but the peoples are only associated to some of the projects but they can access all other projects which they no were considered to be access them at all.

I want to restrict the users to access different projects which they not associated to access them.

Hello @nitesh navale

I suggest you to create Groups. This is my way of work and I find it very easy to use.

So, If you have any logged in user, but you don't have groups, it means any logged in user has access to that specific permission.

If you want only the admin to configure or have access for most of the permissions, remove "Any Logged in user" from where you don't want to have access.

Read very carefully the permissions description before you give access.

ex:

You have multiple projects with different users/clients.

You want to restrict the access to the projects because some of them might be private or you don't want them to see other boards/projects/ etc.

Project 1 ( Group PR1, External clients PR1 ( of course admin group) )

Project 2  - same as PR 1

Project 3 - Same as PR 1

Copy default permissions scheme.

Rename it after your project.

Edit the permissions:

- Remove from permissions :  "Any Logged In user "

- Add the groups to Browse project permission

- Add the groups to the rest of the permissions as you/admin want.

p.s: to make it easier for me I edited the default permission scheme and removed any logged in user from it, added the administrators group for each permission, so when I create a new project the only thing left is to Copy the scheme-> rename it after project associate it with the project-> Add the groups to desired permissions.

Good luck

Hi Nitesh

welcome to the Atlassian Community

Generally speaking you can use the permission schemes to decide which group, user, role should have which permissions for a project.

I would suggest that you have a look to https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/managing-project-permissions-938847145.html

All the best
