restrict a user to a project

IT Admin_c7wa7w

Is there a step by step guide for restricting a user to one project?

i.e. We have 30 projects and i want 3 users to have access to only one of these and the other projects not visible when they log in!

There seems to be so many theories on how to achieve this, looking for a "best practice" method

There's no "so many theories", there's one really basic simple way to do it.

1.  Remove global generalised access to all projects
2. Allow your 3 users access to the projects they should see

This is not that complex.  What usually happens with these questions is that you've gone with the default JIRA permissions which say "put all users in the 'can log into Jira' group", which is then used to also say "is a user in all projects by default".  You need to un-pick this and re-engineer your underlying basic permissions and access model.

You will hear an alternative which relies on using "security schemes".  This is a lot harder, messier and NOT the best approach because you have to set up a whole new swathe of config and remember to use it.  PLEASE, stick to the approach above.  Security schemes are intended for a different use-case.
