How to combine permission scheme and issue security scheme to block some users from a project

Question

project type: Company owned project

Project name: A

Target: Prevent team M from browsing project A .

Background: Within project A, We have a group called as JIRA-USERs which include all company employee and have the access to browse project A. Team M is part of that group.

Can I update the issue security scheme setup and prevent them from browsing project A? What would be the step if that is a yes? Or is there anything else I can do to prevent them from browsing the project?

Thank you Akhand!

This sounds like a solution to me, just not sure effort level for JIRA admins in my company as we have thousands of employee in ira-users group. And we may also have new people to come in all the time, it might need extra maintenance effort to make sure all the other team can. access project A.

Hi Walter:

Thank you for the reply!
I haven't do anything to isolate team M yet, just thinking of the approach, as the company have thousands of employees and want to make sure isolating team M won't cause too much effort or extra trouble.

It seems issue security level may not a solution either due to team M is also part of ira-users group?  Instead, I should create a new group minus team M and give them the access for my project A.
