I encountered a similar issue recently with an open portal that should be accessible to anyone.

The root cause was that the person attempting to log a request was from my organization but didn’t have the Product assigned through the Atlassian Admin. Assigning the Product resolved the issue.

However, this raises a potential bug: since the portal is open (I tested it in incognito mode with an email that doesn’t have an Atlassian account - which works), it shouldn’t require the user to have the Product assigned. This only occurs when the email used in the confirmation field belongs to an existing Atlassian user without product access.

Hi @Vera Valshonok

I do read portal, so you can easily check this here:

Set who has permission to send requests to your portal | Jira Service Management Cloud | Atlassian Support

and that here:

How customer access settings impact project permissions | Jira Service Management Cloud | Atlassian Support

There exists

Customer access settings

Hi Vera,

Check the permission scheme for the project and use the permission helper to guide you to the fix.
