Can site access be both the Jira Instance and the customer portal?

Fahad Akhtar

Hi,

What is site access? What does it mean if a user has the Site Access enabled but is enabled for Agent and not Customer? What does it mean if a user has Site Access but it enabled for Customer and not Agent? For the latter, is it that the user is a customer, has a customer account, does not use up a license and only access to the portal? While the user with site access and enabled for Agent uses up a license and has access to the Jira instance? Please confirm all of these questions for me.

Thanks,
Fahad

Hi @Fahad Akhtar

It's exactly as you described. A customer has only access to the portal and consumes no license, while an agent has access to the Jira project and consumes a license.

You can find more information on the project roles in JSM here.

Hope this helps.

@Fahad Akhtar -

I agreed with @Michel Neeser suggested. Site access, by default, it just means that one can access your site (it can be for Jira Software Application product and/or JSM proudct etc...).

For Jira Software Application, the person must have a license to this product.

For JSM, the person must have a license if he/she needs to access and handle the issues via the project UI (by default). On the customer side, he/she, by default, only has access via the portal UI (aka portal account).

Hope this helps

So site Access to an agent is the Jira Instance while Site Access to a customer is the portal, is that correct?

Michel Neeser

@Fahad Akhtar As far as I know, there's no such thing as a "site access" for customers. Where did you see this term in connection with customers?

But yes, a customer has a "portal account", so they have only access to the portal.
