Roles & Permissions Setup

Question

Does anyone have an industry standard set of roles and permissions for jira cloud supporting a software development company?

Hi @Scott Stewart

You can refer the below wikis to get started with :

* Admin
* Create, edit, or remove a user 
* External Users - Managing external users in Jira can be streamlined by following these steps:

* Create a Dedicated Group:

* Go to Jira Administration > User Management > Groups.
* Create a group like external-suppliers or something like that and add your supplier users to this group.

* Configure Project Permissions:

* Navigate to Project Settings > Permissions.
* Assign the external-suppliers group specific roles with limited permissions, ensuring they only access the intended project.

* Restrict Access to Specific Issues/Epics:

* Use Issue Security Schemes to control visibility at the issue level.

* Assign appropriate security levels to restrict access as needed.

Thanks,
Anwesha

Jira permissions is in three layers:

* Global permissions (who can administer Jira, bulk-change, create projects, etc.)
* Project roles (the “containers” you assign users to per project)
* Permission schemes (the fine-grained “who can do what” within each project)

Hello Anwesha,
I would like to set up Administrators, Users & External Users.  We are a very simple set up here.  What are the steps to set up Permissions and Roles that would fit that goal?  Do you have examples and steps that I can follow?
