How to implement issue-level security per epic to restrict users from other organisations that we would be adding to our boards, but would want them to have visibility into epics needed by them only
Hi @Disha Raheja
Create roles and restrict the roles with specific security level by associating the issue security level scheme with the project
For a detailed guide, visit the documentation

Let me know if you have any query
Thanks,Pramodh
As Jira is highly customizable, a solution is to add the users from the other organization into a user group, so if you have a group for each organization, you'll be able to add a group to the issue level.
Adding users to the group would need to be done by your Jira administrator.
A working example:

Hi Disha,
You will not be able to create the issue security level directly against an organization. So you will need to be sure that the persons in the organization are in a project role for that project or a group. Then you can set up the issue security level against the project role or the group.
Indeed you can create roles as well as suggested by @Pramodh M
Please note that the roles will be available for project managers to use them in the entire instance. This can be a downside or could be the solution your are looking for.
But in the end, look at the documentation provided (https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-issue-security-schemes) and grant the group or role that fits your case the most.

For instance if I create a role say ABC org - would I be able to restrict their access to particular epics (previously created) and the stories within them only and not the entire project. If so please let me know how. I saw videos on limiting certain issue type to certain users only but they all showed new issue types being associated.
Yes - you create the security level and connect it to a role. Then whichever Epics you attach the security level to, then only those people in that role can see the Epics.
Yes, In the documentation are specified the steps to create and associate the Issue security level and adding members to a security level.

In essence, when an Issue (either epic or any issue type), has set an issue security level, in order for a user to see the issue, the user would need to have Browse permission on the project and also be a member on the issue security level in which the issue has been set.
In the issue I shared, the issue security levels are on the left and the possible members on the right.
If an issue is set to the level that was first shown, then only the following users/groups/project roles would be able to see it:
Kindly review and let me know if you have further questions.
