Inviting PO to the project

Maca Mir

Hi!

 

I'm working with a new client, whose Tech Lead is going to be out Tech Lead, so he needs access to our workspace. We're willing to pay for his license, but we need to limit his access to the other projects that we have on the workspace. Is that possible?

Hello @Maca Mir 

Do you have Company Managed project, Team Managed projects, or both in your Jira instance?

Which type of project do you want to make visible to the user?

Visibility of Company Managed projects is managed through the Browse Project permission in the Permission Schemes assigned to the project. You would need to ensure review how that permission is allocated in the various projects and adjust it so that the user is not assigned to a group that has that permission for all projects. For the project the user does need to access, you would adjust the permission scheme so that the Browse Project permission is also assigned to a group or role to which that user gets assigned.

If you have Team Managed projects in your environment, visibility of those is controlled by an Access setting in each project. You would have to ensure that those were set to Limited so that only specified user could access those projects.

This topic has been discussed in many posts in the Jira Communities. If you are dealing with only Company Managed projects in your environment, this is a good reference article.

It talks only about Read-only access, but you can extrapolate from there to also give the user the additional permissions they need.
