Read access to all issues in JSD

Chaya Tanna_204o4s

I have three instances two JSD and one Jira Software. I want the users in Jira Software to be given read only access to all the tickets in two projects in one of the service desks. Can I give regular Jira users access to Jira service desk tickets without giving them agent roles? I don't want them to be agents. I just want them to see the project and be able to see the issues, be able to add comments and see the status, see dashboards etc. If so how do I do it? They are not agents.

Welcome to the community. You can grant your Jira software users with your JSM project's "Service Desk Customers" role. This will allow them to access the issues via the portal UI.

However, if you want your Jira software users to be able to access the JSM issues via the project UI, then you will need to change your JSM project's permission scheme to include them with the "Browse Project" permission.

It will make your job easier if your Jira software users are associated with one common user group, so you can use the group instead of individual users to execute the above recommendations.

Hope this helps.

Hi Joseph, thanks so much for your quick response! Do you mind giving me some further instructions? I gave the users access to the Portal UI, but they don't see the list of issues.

What I don't want to do is give a license to all these users to just see the issues. Right now they all have licenses (for a small company we do not need 165 agents which is what the previous admin did). I have set up a group that I can add all the users to (I called it (Read Only) - so do I then add the Browse Project permissions or where? Sorry, I just don't want to break anything! thanks!

In the Portal UI, your Jira software users will need to search for the issues. You don't need (JSM AGENT) licenses for users to view issues.

To add the group with "Service Desk Customer" role - Go to your JSM project's Project settings >> People

To modify the permission scheme - Go to your JSM project's Project settings >> Permissions

NOTE - You will need system admin rights to edit the permission scheme.

1) Click on "Edit permissions" to access the permission edit screen.

2) Inside the edit permission UI, click on Update for the Browse Project permission

3) In the pop-up screen, select Group and obtain your group and click on the Update button to complete the change.

Hope this helps.

Best, Joseph
