Change admin view permissions

Question

Some of the Jira projects I currently have are not updated but I would still like to keep them for recording of important information. Is there a way to limit the view for other admins to these certain projects, or if I want them not to see these obsolete boards, I could only do so by deleting the boards? Could I limit who can even view that these projects exist?

Welcome @Laura Naliati

You can limit your project visibility by editing the Browse projects permission to be limited only to the project role of people that have been added to the project. The board is by default limited to be seen only by the users that are within the project.

Hi @Laura Naliati

You could create a new permission scheme that do not grant browse permission to anyone. So the projects will be displayed on the project admin section but no longer exposed in JQL or other place in JIRA. You could also archive the project.

For the boards and other related item, you could update the permission to remove view/edit permission on those.
