Issue Security applied to every project in JIRA

Question

Hi!

We run a giant JIRA instance with 100+ projects. We would like to open this up to the public so that they can view our Backlogs.

We want the default level of security on every story/project to be restricted to employees only.Then product managers can selectively reveal backlog items.

How can I as a JIRA Administrator apply a security scheme to every project, and to every issue, in one go?

It seems as though security schemes are applied per project -- I'd have to apply it to every project then to every story. Any way I can do it across the entire JIRA instance?

If applying the Issue Security Scheme does not automatically ask you to edit the issues, you have to do a bulk edit on all the issues and set it to the desired level. Going forward, set the default security level to employees only.
