Users should only be able to create and edit Bugs

Question

Hi

I'm in the need to create a role in my project for users that only should be able to create and edit Bugs. The can read everything else but should not be able to create or edit other issue types or do anything else in the project.

It will be used for internal customers that we deliver to so they can report bugs after releases and the reason why I don't want them to have any more permissions is that I don't want them poking around in the project and making a mess 😊

Right now I've added a role and set up a Permission Scheme for my project but there you can only set it up for all issue types and not a specific one. The role is called DAT Kund (swedish)

Any ideas on if and how I can solve this?

Hi Inger,

I can confirm that the Behaviours feature provided by ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud can help to achieve your requirements.

You would create a new behaviour mapped to the Create View and the Bug Issue Type to achieve this.

You would then write a script that would check if the current user was in a member of the specific project role.

If they were, you would then set the issue types to be displayed, which would include Bug, and if they were not, you would set the issue types to be displayed, which would not include Bug.

I can confirm the example script here shows how to check if a user is a member of a project role, and the example here shows how to set the issue types.

These examples will help act as a reference guide to help you create the required script.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi Rebekka,

This solution you have linked to is for Jira Server / Data Center and will not work in Jira Cloud as behaviours in Jira Cloud use Typescript and the UI Modifications API from Atlassian.

Issue Level Security only works once the issue is created and doesn't stop anyone from creating an issue regardless the type.
