Hi @Navna Chawla

You need to limit users' access using Project Permissions.

How you do this will depend on each Project type:

* Company-managed: See how permissions work on this help page, and how to manage Permissions on this page* You want to limit users' access to the Browse Projects, and the View aggregated data permissions to hide Projects from others
* Permissions are often set against Project Roles, so it's also worth reading more about how these work on this help page

* Team-managed: See how to modify Project access levels on this help page* Set the access level to Private to restrict access to this type of Project

These help pages also detail how to manage other types of permissions - so I'd recommend reviewing them as you might also find other permissions you wish to limit and/or provide to users!

Hi @Navna Chawla and welcome to the community!

You'll want start with the permission schemes used on each of the projects.  The Browse Projects permission grants visibility into the project data so you'll want to first evaluate whether this is too broad (e.g. instance-jira-users would mean everyone with a Jira account has browse projects right by default)

Once you've evaluated that, you'll want to look at Project Settings >> People to make sure that the right people are assigned to the role(s) that have the Browse Projects permission.
