Jackie, if you have admin access, you can go to see 'manage boards' option on your main menu. Select the board you want to provide access to the user, then see the share the board option with a group, role, or user. Add the user id (should be a valid user in Jira) and click on Add. Thanks.

Hi Guban,
There are hundreds of menus within Jira. Which one is the main menu? I am not able to find this "manage boards" option.

Thank you.

The first step is to add the user to your project.

The second step (which might be necessary) is to Share with the user any Filter you used to build the Board. You will only have to take this step if the Filter you used to build the Board is private.

Before you begin, you must be an administrator of the Jira Project.

To grant a user access to a Jira project:

In Jira, click Projects.
1. If you see your Project under CURRENT PROJECT or RECENT PROJECTS, click it.
2. If you do not see your Project, click View All Projects. For Search, type the project's name, then click it.
In the lower left corner, click Project settings.
On the Project settings page, scroll down while looking at the Summary column (second column from the left). In that column, click Users and roles.
On the Users and roles page, near the upper right corner, click Add users to a role.
In the Add users to a role box:
1. Click in the Users or groups textbox. Type in the user's first initial and last name. Jira will display a list of matches. Click the correct user.
2. For Role, scroll down and click Users.
3. Click the Add button.
Provide the user with a link to your project's Activity page, and see if they are able to get into the project successfully. The link will be something like https://server.com/projects/PROJECTKEY/summary
Provide the user with a link to your project's Board, and see if they are able to get into the Board successfully.

To grant a user access to a specific Kanban board in your Jira project:

In Jira, go to the project's Activity page (something like https://server.com/projects/PROJECTKEY/summary).
On the top navigation bar, click Boards, then click View all boards.
For Find a board, type the Board name.
When the Board name you want appears in the list, on its row, click the ... button, then click Configure.
On the General and filter page, in the Filter section, under Shares, click Edit Filter Shares.
On the Edit Current Filter page, if next to Viewers it says Not shared:
1. For Add Viewers, choose Project, then click the name of your project, then All. Then click Add.
Provide the user with a link to your project's Board, and see if they are able to get into the Board successfully.

I can go until the 5th step.

in the 5th step, I can't see the Edit filter shares even if I have the Admin access.

Can anyone help me regarding that.

I'm in version 8.5.1 and I also cannot see "Edit Filter Shares"

I can confirm we have the same issue in JIRA Cloud as of today. Can someone from Atlassian please look into this? Thanks.
