Ability to secure issues within a project by field value?

Mercker, Jeramie

Greetings!

Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:

I need to limit the issues that a user can see within a given project by a field value on the issue. As an example, I might have a custom field "State" that has a value indicating the US state that the issue is about. I'd like to be able to setup a security rule where a user has read only access to issues with a State field of "GA" but cannot see any other issues within the project.

Is this possible in JIRA? If so, how?

Thanks!
Jeramie

Hi @Mercker, Jeramie - welcome to the community,

yes, this is possible. The feature of your choice is called „issue security level“.

You can create a security level scheme and define different security levels that control/limit who can see issues.

See the description here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-issue-security-schemes/

Furthermore this would need an automation rule to set/change the security level of an issue regarding to your requirement/custom field value.

Hope I could give some helpful hints.

Hello @Mercker, Jeramie

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are the issues in a Company Managed project or a Team Managed project?

@Stefan Salzl 's answer applies if the issues are in a Company Managed project.

Hi @Mercker, Jeramie,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Yes that is possible and you can do it using issue security and automation. Have a look at this KB for more information on how to set it up. Basically you create an issue security scheme and once added to the project you can create an automation that monitors your "State" field to set the right security level on the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply! These are all Company Managed projects. I'll check Stefan's reply.

Mercker, Jeramie

Thanks a LOT for the quick reply and the detailed response. I appreciate it! I'll check the docs and see what we can do.

Mercker, Jeramie

Thanks Mikael! I appreciate the quick reply and this information. It looks like between your reply and Stefan's this is the way to go. I'll have to get this checked out.

Mercker, Jeramie

@Stefan Salzl - Do you have any reference material / docs on the automation part of it?

Thanks!

@Stefan Salzl this is what I need on automation right? https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/create-and-edit-jira-automation-rules/
