Can a user share an issue covered by issue level security with another user?

Jay Keck

If I'm a user that is authorized to view a jira issue covered by issue level security, can I share that with another user who is not authorized to see it according to the issue level security settings? Or do I need to create an other issue security level which includes that user and change the issue level settings of the issue?

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Jay,

If the user does not have access to the issue via the issue level security, then sharing it will still not give the user access. The user must meet the criteria of the security level period - no matter how he/she gets the link to the issue.
