How can you make a Client Role that only can comment on their project but not see all the other user projects

How can you make a Client Role that only can comment on their project but not see all the other user projects?

So far a created a "client role" that has comment only permission, but when I log in as them they still have access to all other user projects.  What i'm I doing wrong?

The problem could be in the permission schemes of these other projects. Your client user might be present in a Project Role through membership in the jira-users group for instance, and gain Browse permissions from that. Since any user who wants to log in must be present of that group, your client user is bound to be a member of at least one group.

If that's the case, here's what you should do to fix this with minimal effort:

 

1. Create a new user group for clients (call it client or external or something)
2. Give that group permission to login in the Global Permissions
3. Make sure your client users are in that client group only, not in jira-users.
4. Add the user in a Project Role of your specific project
