Limit visibility of 3rd party developers to only 1 particular JIRA project no other projects within

Question

Hi,

We use JIRA Cloud with Standard licencing. We have multiple projects on the GO within my company. All of them are built on the standard permission scheme and are company projects. All of them use the same workflows and permission schemes and out of the box  using out of the box groups as well... So all very vanilla set up.

We are embarking on another important Financial project, let's call it "FinTransfer",  which will require input from the developer's of other 3rd party companies, and I need to ensure that when I give them access to this project, they cannot see / browse or query any other projects within my company.

Keep in mind, there will be about 25 of my testers who will also need access to this project along with the 3rd party developers. My testers should still be able to see the other projects they are working on as well as the new project "FinTransfer"

I need  step by step instructions on how to do this, as I am unsure of how to set this up.

Any help is appreciated..

There is also a community article that you might find helpful:

How to give a user (read-only) access to a single project and nothing more

While it is talking about limiting the access only to browsing you may be able to extrapolate from it accordingly for the other permissions you need to grant to that group.

Hi @Yezdi J Khareghat , thanks for your post.

In general, if you don't want certain groups / roles or users to be able to see a particular project, you would just need to configure the 'Browse project' permission accordingly - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/permissions-for-company-managed-projects/

If you have a situation where different groups are working in the same project and some people should be able to see everything, and others should be able to see fewer items, you can also configure a Work Item Security Scheme - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-issue-security-schemes/ .

I hope this helps you.

Cheers
