I'm burning up here- how to restrict a user or a group to 1 single project?

Question

Hi!

Read all kinds of documentation but I can't understand at all how should I do this.

This manual: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/How+to+restrict+project+access+to+different+isolated+user+groups

Confusing.

Granted these groups JIRA access by adding the groups to JIRA Users global permission" - what is that supposed to mean?!

It should be just that I pick a group and select project or project's this group can access. That's it. And then pick a user and assign the user to a group.

Right now ALL USERS get access to ALL projects in my system.

Using Atlassian cloud and I'm on the edge of cancelling the subscription. The most annoying permission management system

Default permission scheme has things like that:

"Create Issues" and and default is "Application Role (Any logged in user) "  - so any new users instantly can manage new users? That is just stupid

Then this one: "Browse Projects - Ability to browse projects and the issues within them." The moment I add someone there, he can see everything again.

So, any ideas how to fix this?

I finally got what I wanted- I can change the project and set myself to see everything and new users I can assign to separate projects one by one.

I also understand that I have to remove everyone and every group from every project and then one by one add them again.

Also, it doesn't matter if I'm an administrator, I have to add myself into the group or user role in the project as well to be able to see it. Just being in administrator group as well gives me more permissions.

At least, when creating a new user, the user can't acces everything.

Thank you, for now, @Phill Fox
