Permission to see certain fields

Question

Hi,

I would like to check if it is possible to restrict the visibility of the following fields in Jira cloud:

- Assignee

- Comments

- Logged working hours

Is it possible to configure the permission to see these fields to a specific group of users?

If so, could you please point me to the related documentation?

Thank you

Jira does not have field level security.

You can control who can change the assignee, make comments and log work though - these are all individual permissions in the permission scheme for the project.

Hi @Rodrigo B_ Schmidt

It's not possible to restrict visibility of fields - just issues themselves (using issue security).

Field-level security has been suggested before but it would require a significant work commitment and complexity - see: JRASERVER-1330

There are open suggestions though if you'd like to vote on them - see: JRACLOUD-69298

Hello @Rodrigo B_ Schmidt ,

This has been discussed already in below posts, please take a look:

Field Level Permissions 
Field Level Permissions.. 
Show fields depending on user permissions

However, most of the posts talk about using Behaviors from Scriptrunner for Jira. But, unfortunately Behaviors are server only. You can check out the documentation for Issue Level Security  , Control access to your issues on next-gen using Issue Restrictions  and see if this is something you can implement to  control which user or group of users can view an issue.

Best,
Sachin.
